This is a pretty nice list of awesome looking startups/products built with substantial effort that don't make (enough) money.
I don't mean to be negative, and sure there are stories that look nice (even though we don't know their spending), but I've spent bout an hour looking through the list and visiting the sites and it seems that at least 50% doesn't make $5k MRR while being around for years. And I'm pretty sure a lot of these are awesome products (at least based on the screenshots and the landing pages). E.g. look at this one: https://scrumpy.io/ https://scrumpy.io/ . They've been working on it for 3 years and have less than 40 customers [1].
A pretty stark reminder that a good product doesn't necessarily translate into a viable business.
