Versionsql

Project Overview

VersionSQL is a software project developed by the author in 2021, addressing a perceived gap in Microsoft tooling. Initially a side project spanning over six years, the initiative gained more focused attention during the COVID-19 pandemic when the author’s consulting work decreased.

Key highlights:

• Purpose: Fill a specific tooling niche for Microsoft environments
• Development approach: Transitioned from pure development to balanced development and marketing efforts
• Growth strategy: Moved away from “build it and they will come” mindset
• Current status: Small but growing project

The author credits the project’s recent growth to:

• Splitting time equally between development and marketing
• Learning from recommended resources on product development and marketing
