I’ve had multiple side projects over the years, and every time I got a little bit further with them towards a commercial success. My latest project is the one I’ve been working on the longest.
It’s been almost 4 years now I think, and within the past year, I’ve started getting traction commercially. (But the first paying customer was after two years or so.)
I guess what I’m saying is that it’s okay to abandon ideas when you feel like they don’t work. Your gut feeling may be right.
You learn something from it, you move on and eventually you hopefully find something that sticks. It’s almost like love.

It’s embarrassing to go out with a product that you know isn’t perfect, but if you are meeting a need in the market, people are willing to pay even for an imperfect product. And it’s much easier to improve a product that has a market, then to find a market for a perfect product that has none.
