Six years of sticking with one product is the hardest part of solo building. Most of us (myself included) struggle with the opposite problem — shipping too many things and not going deep enough on any of them.

The convergence-to-Jira pattern mentioned in another comment is real, but I think the answer isn't "don't add features" — it's "add features for a narrower audience." A Kanban for 3-person dev teams will always beat a Kanban for everyone.

Curious about your distribution strategy. After 6 years, what's actually working for getting users — SEO, word of mouth, communities?

It takes most of the time to decide what to do next. I don't have so much energy and desire to do anything to try to do everything. The main way of promotion is advertising in search results. For me, it is the most effective and affordable in terms of quality for new users.
