It's painful, but a worth failure lesson. I started building my own side-projects. First took months to build while learning new technologies. Previous one took a year to actually code all these fancy features. Added payments, billing pages, etc. Then noone bought the subscription :)

Anyway I learned so much along the way and they say you have to spend thousands of hours to actually become successful in one area. Now I've built a project on 2/3 weeks. I give it a few weeks, then move to a new idea to find a gold mine and start the monetization.
