#25.5 - Navigating Multiple Flight Paths: A Candid Week in the Life of Itsy's Solo Founder
Welcome aboard the latest update from Itsy, where this week we're taking a refreshingly honest pit stop in our journey of revolutionizing travel agency tech! As your solo pilot navigating both the Itsy flight path and freelance airways, I'm excited to share a different kind of travel story - one about the real adventures of building a SaaS while keeping multiple engines running smoothly.

Hey Itsy community! This week has been more of a scenic detour than a direct flight, if you catch my drift. As a solo captain steering the Itsy ship while navigating the waters of freelance work, I'll admit our usual velocity hit some unplanned turbulence. But hey, even travel agents know sometimes the best journeys aren't the fastest ones!
While Itsy's development dashboard might have looked more like a quiet airport lounge than a bustling terminal this week, the behind-the-scenes operations never stopped. My freelance projects (think of them as our funding flights!) needed some extra attention, which meant our travel agency tech had to briefly cruise at maintenance altitude. It's all part of the adventure of bootstrapping a SaaS that's revolutionizing how travel agencies work!
The silver lining? This temporary slowdown has given me fresh perspectives on our journey ahead. Like any seasoned traveler knows, sometimes you need to pause and check your bearings to plot the best route forward. I'm already mapping out next week's itinerary, with some exciting features ready for takeoff that will make Itsy an even better companion for travel agencies worldwide.
To all our amazing travel agency partners and supporters following Itsy's journey - your enthusiasm keeps this adventure soaring! I'd love to hear your thoughts on balancing business seasons and growth - drop me a line at hi@itsy.so and let's swap stories about building the future of travel tech!
... Happy Friday, and happy Itsying !
