You ever have one of those days? Where everything’s falling apart and nothing makes sense? Where you’re left wondering “how did any of this ever work?” Yeah. That was yesterday for me. First, a little backstory. So there’s this little MLP:FIM community I’m a part of called Cider and Saddle. It’s a small bunch, only about 6 people all-told, and we’re all good friends. In that group are a couple of nerds like myself who enjoy tinkering with computers and programming.

My file sharing project sleeti is nearing its first birthday (August 5th). In celebration, I decided I was going to take a look back at the original ideas for the project, the process I went through for development, and what all I learned throughout the process of building my first big open-source piece of software.
