# The Pivot

This project is a pivot from an earlier attempt of Zenergy.

I tried to build Zenergy as a startup with very little experience. That part was fine. The mistake was focusing on monetization before building something I genuinely wanted to use on a day to day basis.

Because the goal was revenue, the product was shaped by what I thought a startup should look like rather than what actually helped me. I added features for the sake of sounding viable instead of solving a real personal problem.

I did not use it consistently, and it failed as a result.

# The New Priority

This pivot is about stepping back and rebuilding with a different priority. The goal now is to create something I would actually use every day, without pressure to monetize or scale early.

Build for personal use first

Solve real problems I face daily

Let monetization come naturally, if at all

If other developers or people find it useful, that is a bonus. Monetization, if it ever happens, comes later and is not the driver.
