Over the past 10+ years I have started countless side projects - with the majority not leaving a Trello board!
Below is a list of the side projects that DID leave the idea stage, with the large majority even having a codebase, website and domain behind them as well.
If you would like to know more about any of these, please get in touch and lets chat!
