Michael Seibel said something like this: if you success, you would be like the top 1 percent among your peers. You should be cautious about asking average people's opinion about your startup, because average means failure in startup world.

You know more than anyone about your business. You have all the qualitative and quantitative data about your business. If you need some random HN users, most of which are not successful founders, to tell you whether you should quit or go on, there is something wrong.

As a founder myself, I can relate to your feeling. My last startup failed. I saw no hope in what we did. I gave up. There is nothing bad about giving up, if you are sure about it.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's good to know what all others think about our product. As you mentioned though, the final decision will be made by me and my co-founder.
