What was your motivation? The kudos of having a popular project, making money down the line or filling some space in your life? If it is one of the first two I would say move on. If it's none of the above and you genuinely just want to help people I would also say move on as you have no users.
I'm an older guy who spends less time solving tough problems no one else cares about. Time is too short. I'm sure the skills you have learned will not be lost and put to good use elsewhere.
- toto444 7y agoThe original motivation was to prove mostly to myself that something was possible. It is not a tough problem but very time consuming. It turns out that I enjoy doing it and I like the result but I am wondering if I am wasting my time. I remember reading on HN someone who had spend 6 years of his life writing a programing language as a personal project. No one will ever use this language. Would you call is a waste of time or an amazing journey ? It all depends on the motivation for sure, but motivation is not always 100% up and feedback and the possibility to talk to someone is important and this is what I miss really.
