20 Years of PerfectTablePlan: A Software Success Story

In February 2005, the author released version 1 of PerfectTablePlan, a table seating planning software. Initially created to solve a personal problem for his wedding, it has since evolved to version 7, becoming a surprisingly successful and enduring product. Built with C++ and Qt, it has thrived despite the shift to web-based software and a pandemic-induced sales slump. The author, balancing PerfectTablePlan with other software projects, has enjoyed the flexibility of a lifestyle business, demonstrating the power of perseverance and a well-crafted product in a constantly evolving tech landscape.
