I’ve had a couple failed projects I can share:
- https://web.archive.org/web/20190528152755/https://www.themejuice.it/ https://web.archive.org/web/20190528152755/https://www.theme... desktop app for local WordPress development, built on top of a CLI I made. Had a few hundred MRR within a couple weeks. It used Vagrant under the hood (right when Docker was blowing up), app was built on React (in Coffeescript <3). But ultimately I left because of conflicts with co-founders and burnout. Fun project -- probably could have gone somewhere.

Couldn’t get traction or sales. Probably needed to do content marketing, but my wife and I had just had our first child at the time, so we ultimately shut it down due to lack of time (she did most of the getaway hunting, I automated price discovery.) It was a 5k line index.js Node app. XD

- scary-size 5y agoI’m building something similar, though much simpler. A desktop app for creating static websites. You build your site offline and preview locally. Then deploy it to hosting, currently integrated with Vercel. But it also outputs the static files. Have a few thoughts about monetization, though that would be more of a “nice to have”.
