EPIC FAILURES

Our First Project: A Story of Hubris and Humiliation

It all began with grand ambitions and an Excel spreadsheet. We were going to change the world. Or, at the very least, make a decent to-do list app. Alas, our first project, "Prolix," never quite took off. Like a spaceship built by a committee, it was a mess of confusing buttons and half-baked ideas.

In retrospect, we should have known better. I mean, who launches a project without proper focus groups, user testing, and a solid marketing strategy? Sounds like we were trying to be the next "Space Shuttle" – a disaster in the making.

Key Features (or Lack Thereof)

We learned a lot from our mistakes, though. Like how to make a mean "We're Sorry" page. And how to craft a decent apology letter. Maybe one day, we'll get it right.

What We Could Have Done Better

  1. Budgeted more for bug fixes
  2. Involved the user in the design process
  3. Didn't let the CEO design the logo (seriously, what were we thinking?)

But for now, let's just say: Prolix, R.I.P.
