I worked 7 days a week, full time on Wabble. Wabble was the name I gave this project for temporary use. By the time I went to bed, I couldn’t stop thinking of new features or how to improve it. I also thought about a name… so many names passed my head but I needed a name that was not listed in a dictionary and domain names being still available.

At first, there was only text and one logo. The pictures were introduced around January. So much programming, testing and thinking. Now I finally had a project, even though it was extremely hard to explain without having something to show, so many people offered to help me out. The algorithms, making a video explaining the project, people helped me translate, test, think and sometimes forced me to leave the computer for a moment.

The problem was… I couldn’t finish. I wanted more features, more things to do, more options for users… Networks were introduced in February although I wanted to go online that very same month.

On the other hand… Money was getting a real issue now. My girlfriend gave up the place she rented and took mine so I would not have any rent to pay anymore. My parents helped me out a bit and I made some websites for clients to pay the bills. I had to buy an license for Flash and rent a server. There was no budget for marketing or press releases.

But… Scoutle was developing! Still, people were not able to understand it since they couldn’t see anything but everybody was waiting patiently. I can’t say it enough… support, even when people say nothing, is really important.
