You can also use the stammkapital right away but there are certain rules when you have to prevent insolvency. It’s really not that hard unless you want something wild

I never had any issue with Finanzamt being slow, they take my money with a proper disclosure ahead and also as quickly pay whatever I’m owed back

Germany is a different kind of joke but everything OP listed smells fishy and scammy to be honest. I have a German company and there costs are not that massive. It took one notary meeting and some bills but the way he sets everything up looks… weird and convoluted. So he had to pay arm and a leg.

It will be hilarious to see this one play out because ChatGPT and Perplexity already do wonders for small-claim issues like tenancy laws, various personal letters, etc.

I'd like to clarify that "18+ guided journaling programs" means in here "18 and more coming", the app itself does not include anything NSFW :-)

pawelkomarnicki — Tue, 05 May 2026 11:07:45 +0000

It was first an iOS app but now it's 100% proud Ruby on Rails web app that works everywhere you can receive your emails. With 18+ guided journaling programs and things that make journaling easy, fun, and interesting.

It's an alpha/beta release so please don't hesitate to ask questions and share your feedback — I want to make it the best journaling app :-)

I see your point and connecting places and people (and of course the ultimate goal of opening my own place) is on the roadmap. The thing is that I don’t want to either tie myself to a specific place or be dependent on specific area (apart from starting up in Berlin of course).

I’m not particularly worried about any stigma or anything. So far most people understand that it’s not “yet another another gaming club” but a community/place that is also for this particular purpose. Worst case scenario I can rebrand it later into something else.

I have realized that playing board games with other people makes my mental health better and started work on a community platform and at some point physical space to connect: https://GamesAgainstLoneliness.org

Also working on a journaling app but it’s still in the works.

Large teams were a norm because VCs REQUIRED IT, telling things like “we invest in people” and demanding founders to hire rooms full of “the talent”.

To celebrate the release of 7 new journaling programs (reaching 18 in total) and the Christmas season, the app is free to try until the end of the year (down from the usual $4.99).

Give yourself some mental health support and enjoy clarity, mindfulness, and self-awareness this holiday season.
