The title may sound sad, but what I’m asking is this:
Suppose you have an idea that you’ve developed and published, but it fails to gain traction. You then make minor adjustments, such as changes in marketing strategies or slight modifications to features. At what point would you consider the product to be a failure?
What would be the threshold—in terms of time, money, or other factors—beyond which you would decide that it no longer makes sense to continue?
As long as possible. I have a couple of projects:
https://words-keeper.com - 10 years old. I even participated in the Google Cloud Platform Developer Challenge 2013, though I wasn’t selected as a winner :( I was very upset because a lot of winning apps were much worse than mine. I suspect that 99% of those winners are closed now.
https://unilist.app - almost 5 years old. I developed it in April 2019 and have been using it almost every day. I started sharing it just a couple of months ago, perhaps it’s too late, because there are tens or even hundreds of note taking apps are available now.
I don’t have a lot of users at the moment, but I have a lot of ideas :) so I will keep improving both projects as long as possible.
unilist looks really nice and polished. What kind of frameworks you use? Do you have any monetization plan?
