Isn’t that a litmus test for a successful idea? People breaking out their wallets and paying for it?

- vbezhenar 4y agoCommercially successful idea. http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ probably much more successful that https://www.gnupg.org/ https://www.gnupg.org/ but there’s a nuance. Photopea is awesome on its own though. I really like to showcase it as an example of complete web app.
- SturgeonsLaw 4y agoDepends on how you define success. Is a business which brings in $1,000,000 in revenue but costs $1,100,000 to operate, successful? Profit is a more meaningful number. And even then, profit can be slim or negative depending on the stage of the lifecycle that business is in, yet the business can be in negative profit for good reasons and can lead to future profitability. So even then, profit alone is also not a complete indicator of business health. It really does take a holistic look at the books and the market to determine how successful a business/idea really is. Revenue though is "the big number" so it leads to the more sensational claims.
