Why does it have to be a problem no one else is solving? Of course competing with an existing service is hard, but sometimes thinking of something no one else is doing is harder. In many cases, especially in software, the competition is not as far ahead as you might think. In many more cases, their marketing is not that far reaching. And if there's one thing we can learn from this whole ordeal is that marketing is key. Regarding the failure of this launch, this should not have come as a surprise, the marketing solution to this should've been in your business plan from day one. And maybe, if you _would_ have surrounded yourself with founders maybe one of them had actually paid attention to the stories at HN and warned you about the launching deficiencies in your plan. I think it's too early to stop now, even as it feels you've lost your only chance. You build a product people actually want and you've only tried launching it once thus far.
