- opened a print store and sold about 4000 print zines
- tried and failed to finish 2 zines
- spent 2 months on a product idea I never released
- spent a lot of time trying to figure out why i was struggling to finish writing new zines
- got excited about programming and building small websites and spent a bunch of time on that
- wrote 3 new learning tools (mess with DNS, an nginx playground, a choose your own adventure style debugging game) that were really fun to build and that got a good response
- put all of my comics on the internet for free
- struggled with managing my reaction/relationship to internet commenters (same as every previous year :))
- decided that working alone kind of sucks and hired a friend part time for the first time
- thought a lot about what I'm trying to achieve and what my "mission statement" is
- wrote maybe 50 blog posts and 20 zine pages
- released 0 new products
- made about 40% less revenue than last year (250k -> 160k)
overall I have a lot of ideas for 2022 which is good but there's still a lot to learn
