You couldn't be more right. After reading all the comments here and on the blog post, I've decided that I've been in my own little world with this app for way too long, and I need to go do something else for awhile. If it's really worth doing, I'm sure I'll pick it back up again once I'm back on my feet.

Give us a donate button and we will help you pay the rent at least, the time you find a paying gig.

  Do people actually do this? I've seen donate buttons before, even clicked them a few times, but I never imagined anyone received a sizable chunk of money this way.

Go do something else BUT let others evaluate your product in the meantime. Open it up to discussion; why you designed the UI a certain way or why it contains features XYZ vs ABC. Allow yourself to be critiqued.

Hardball: "Are you playing to play or are you playing to win" This is a good book, which used to be used in the Harvard MBA curriculum. I really like the last chapter which discusses some points on what to do when u really need a win or to bring a company back. These points i believe can apply to your personal life and a business, i will use it in a personal sense: 1. Survive first then gain competitive advantage: In that make sure you survive first.....so get income(9-5 job, freelance, anything), then get competitive advantage(make yourself feel special) by starting a business. 2. Make everything Fast, Focused and Fundamental: Fast-- This relates to the time element, every task/action should have a stated timeline in which it should be achieved. Focused-- These key tasks/actions should be protected from other tasks/actions cannibalizing time. Fundamental-- Only efforts that go to the heart of the matter should be pursued. Only actions that are going to make a big difference to the underlying should be pursued at this point. 3. Don't tolerate failure to deliver more than once: Two or three failures to deliver suggests a lack of will, incompetence or even subversion. This applies to anyone. You should now ask yourself, am i satisfying point 1? Then make your way from there.

You'll thank yourself for taking this step now. Remember that finding paying gigs also takes time, and beggars can't be choosers (of clients)
