It seems that there are two conditions necessary for a better product to take over, which is what you are trying to acompish. First and most obviously, the new product needs to be objectively better in key ways that people care about, preferably multiple key ways. Second, the audience must be above some threshold of dissatisfaction with the current product. There must be a sufficient pain point for a sufficient part of the audience. It cannot be merely a "geez it might be nice if X", but an actual "damn, this is annoying...". And, obviously, your new product must address it. If there is no significant pain point, you have no chance of gaining any traction. Even if the switching cost is essentially zero, you have no real chance. Trying for a better HN? Maybe I'm missing something, but I haven't seen any big issues, nor anybody complaining about issues. So, I wish you luck, but it seems you may have put a lot of effort into something no one really wants; might be best to consider taking the huge amount you've just learned and pivot to a new target... |
