Thanks for your valuable feedback! Its quite true, that just because I haven't found anybody _yet_ who say they will pay for my product, that those people are not out there. I guess it always comes down to a very subjective decision as to if you should continue with a product.
However, as the man with the 30k of code and no customers said in his post, its easy to find people who say they will pay for something. So when I started asking my target market if they would buy my app, I expected at least a few "yes's". I was surprised by the strength of the negative reaction. It seems that while there a small unmet need in my area, my features and proposed MVP are way off. Instead I would have to create something that doesn't quite suit me, and would be a much more difficult product to create - all to capture a market that suddenly looks a lot smaller that I thought it was.
BTW, I really like the idea of a MVP. My next step, if I had received a positive response, would have been to create mockups and then re-confirm with my target market that it's what they are after. After that I would take a week or two to create a MVP and then iterate fast from there.
As it is, I have a few other ideas apart from my photo app. Next I'm going to try looking for people who want to integrate google analytics with paypal "buy now" buttons and seeing if any of them would consider paying for an easy solution.
Also: Patio11. Wow, now I am all star struck :-) Your feedback does mean a lot to me!
