Anyone else here ditched corporate life to work on your own thing?

Last year I left O2 (UK telco) to go full-time with Earthmark, a business I'd been building on the side for a little while. That business was actually a pivot from my first Product Hunt project!

@nathancovey haha same. Trimmed the fat on a lot of stuff, less fancy meals out and ended the golf membership but well worth it

That's awesome! I love hearing such inspiring stories! I didn’t quit my job, but I started a side project during my maternity leave and then brought it into my company

@n_demia kudos! starting something is one thing but seeing it survive and thrive is another. what was your side project?
Jack
@n_demia very cool is it still live? if it retrieves URLs from a live web search I'd love to see it

@jack___ yep, it's chrome extension, it allows to collect search results but from the currently visible page only. I'm planning to add pagination but in 2-3 month. My focus in on AI features of scraping. you can try it out https://chromewebstore.google.co..., you can just type - "search results" and it will understand what you want
