The Story of Jappleng Part II

Written by: OG Jappleng

Like a Phoenix, we Rise from the Ashes; Hello Jappleng University!
At that point I had spent a few thousand hours on Jappleng, but it needed a lot of work, in fact with the ideas I had over the years, I decided around 2011 to figure out the best parts of these ideas into a colossal project dubbed Jappleng University. I had decided to go through this as an experimental project, to teach myself a lot of skills that I didn't have, to mentor myself and to really push forward making the best possible thing I could make, I called it Project: Jappleng University.

I was motivated, very motivated! In fact, I had registered Jappleng as a LLC and spent my savings on legal fees as well as setting up my little run-down office which was my bedroom. I figured that this could work. Two months later, the government sends me a letter asking for another $600 or so, I couldn't afford this I was living off of my hard earned pennies! So I had to count my losses and file to dissolve the company. I didn't have to pay that $600 but I already paid over $500 in legal fees to get it established. It was heart breaking but it taught me a lesson to meticulously research.

At this point the idea of Jappleng University is starting to sway and likely going to become nothing and I stopped caring for a while.
