I'm on the same boat, I am thoroughly exhausted but I have adopted a glass half-full philosophy: this is the least popular my startup will ever be.

I have just launched, few people know about it, and even fewer are paying for it. While it's a decent MVP, it's still far away from my vision. Google barely knows about it, I have a lot of marketing to do, but the longer it stays online, necessarily the more people it will have reached. It might not go viral, but people still talk about and share good products, so the focus is to concentrate and making a good product. And, of course, marketing. ( I literally have just invented the idea of SEO Saturdays. No coding for me today!)

We chose the life, it's very tiring, I'm exploring the depths of being broke as shit, but remember, if you keep at it, time is on your side.

(Also quick hack: link your project, your blog, whatever in your HN profile. Every comment on this site is always bound to attract a few drive-by visitors.)
