In case someone is interested: One of the mentioned coding projects was an Android app for Enduro, Motocross and such events. Basically, multiple stop-watches on touch-screen, and the event timing types tailored for the needs of those racing types. Personally I have no experience with such motor sports, and this app idea was suggested to me by members of the local motor sports club. I liked the idea, and the plan was to first release a Finnish-only version. And once there would be a bit more user feedback from the Finnish market, then I could translate the UI to English and see if we get more customers form the international market.

The app comes in two versions: A free one with ads, and a paid one without the ads. Since at the moment the UI is Finnish only, the app is available only in Finland, here.

And as one might guess, what happened then? Covid-19. Seems like people are not getting together for their hobbies that much. So they haven't been downloading an app for their hobbies. My app got featured in a Finnish magazine for motor sports, with a nice review. That yielded a handful of downloads, which is nice but doesn't quite yield additional income.

So, the situation with that app is: it would take me only a few full working days to launch it for the international market. But I have a feeling that in the current situation it won't be worth that. I can try that some time in the future. As now I feel like devoting all of my coding time to the Ancient Savo project.
