For me, the most rewarding part is to help people. I love getting a random email saying “thanks” for a few sentences I jotted down that saved someone else time or money or made their life better somehow.
My most valuable example actually came from a tiny web app I created. I got a email telling me that someone had lost 212 lbs and my app was part of their success. I was sure the number was a typo so I responded and confirmed. When I reached out 6 years later they said:
“I weigh 163.8 this morning down from a high of 387. It has changed my life and the weight has stayed off (but I'm never off the program).”
I think your words, no matter how simple, would be powerful to others.

Often we are so focused on scale and quantitative data we forget to value impact like this. Sounds amazing!
What was the tiny web app?
It’s called Quick Calories.
