Liffery
Establishing a single code base for 5 apps (web/ios/android/browser extensions) that didn't suck. It took a little investment upfront before we started the project but knew that we would have to be all-device for Liffery to work. The investment paid off, with VueJS/SSR/Capacitor/a series of small bash scripts... the whole operation of releasing to all platforms is now satisfying :)
Outside of that... just the usual startup difficulties, keeping the system flexible for easy pivots on features.
After much back and forth with our beta users and early business customers, we're launching on here tomorrow: producthunt.com/products/liffery

@john_carmichael thanks for sharing🙏
The big one I think is finding/developing cross-platform compatibility.
Data security is usually an interesting problem to solve :)).
Any product here that develop that?
@mihail_moxa Absolutely, data security is quite a puzzle!
The product was slow
@andra_cernamori_ It sounds like the product could benefit from some performance optimization. Consider revisiting your code to identify any areas of inefficiency or bottlenecks that could be slowing it down.
Getting my head around those complex algorithms was no joke! It was tough at first, but with tons of practice and some pretty epic study group sessions.
@paul_pirlog Tackling complex algorithms can be daunting, but with the right attitude and persistence, it gets easier. Keep practicing
