Riding in the same boat bro!

I tried to build & ship a simple tool [1] in one month(not 1 day btw), which got almost 0 customer engagement - just few comments on how good the idea is.

This made me question myself on solving a bigger problem & I spent around 5 months on a ML based product.Which eventually turned out out of my ML knowledge's reach (couldn't hire one too); so I stopped working on it & put it aside for sometime later.

Right now, like you, I'm working on building an audience on reddit/IH/twitter; so that I can ship my short-sprinted projects.

Hi friend! I saw it, but it seems you haven't monetized it yet? CMIIW. Did you plan to receive kudos instead of putting a paywall?

Also, high five, it kinda feels lonely when working our product? I felt that online community in HN/IH/twitter/reddit (I cannot, though haha), can make us feel lonely. Let me know if I can help you.

Supp friend :)

I kind of build it as MVP-freemium & had future plans for additional paid features.But after such poor initial response,I lost hope & dropped it.Now that I'm less emotionally attached with it(after nearly 6 months & a little mature), came to realization that should've spent more time & efforts in marketing.Back then, I had very limited reach in online community(0 followers, near 0 karma etc).I am working on it currently and trying to make it a fore of habit.

The maker world is lonely indeed.Would love to get in touch with you.My contacts are available on my portfolio.Lets catch up sometime soon!

Thanks for following on Twitter, friend. Let's support each other *thumb
