Over the last 5-6 years I've been keeping a journal full of ideas, many of the ideas I was able to implement, many ideas didn't actually see the light, but above all I was able to push myself to ship so many indie games and mobile applications that I honestly never thought I could do.
Turning ideas into products has been one of the most fascinating aspects of having a startup.
Research and development or also called R&D is a process I personally include into my workload.
