“It’s launch day… and I’m somewhere between excited and terrified.”

After months of late nights, bug hunts, and quietly rebuilding something I’ve believed in for years, the newly redesigned PETALS app is finally live. And I’m bringing you with me — the nerves, the hiccups, the actual launch moment.

This episode’s not polished. It’s real. From pressing the button… to fixing what broke straight after… to finally seeing it live.

🎥 What you’ll see:

• Launch day behind the scenes: nerves, debugging, and merge conflicts
• A full walkthrough of the new PETALS design
• Why I paused the party (and what I’m planning instead)
• Busting the myths of entrepreneurship — turns out it’s not all tech bros and big exits
• “This isn’t just a side project anymore.”

If you’ve ever shipped a product, or wanted to, this one’s for you.

“We knew the concept was okay… but I was never quite happy with the design. So we rebuilt it—properly this time.”
