I’m really surprised by how negative many of the reactions here are. I found the overall concept and approach very interesting and entirely plausible, though obviously it didn’t work out at all in the end. If there was a better technique to validate the signups, that could have helped pivot to a different product with actual interest. And I loved the research to target a specific search keyword with traffic but few results.

My criticism (seems everyone has one!) is that building your own billing, and spending two weeks on the first version before you have any customers, is a massive overkill. Really all you need is to track usage. Don’t even bother trying to automate on your own at this stage…
