OK so you built a small utility app in a crowded space- see: https://setapp.com/lifestyle/best-color-picker https://setapp.com/lifestyle/best-color-picker https://alternativeto.net/software/instant-eyedropper/?platform=mac https://alternativeto.net/software/instant-eyedropper/?platf... etc. You released on May 18th only in the Mac app store with no other marketing and decided to withdraw on August 7th, i.e. less than 3 months later. What were you honestly expecting to happen? Did you really think that there was some pent-up unmet demand for your app? What compelling advantage(s) did it offer? Who did you think would be looking for it and how did you think they might evaluate options?

Not to mention it’s built into the OS: https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/digital-color-meter/welcome/mac https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/digital-color-meter/we...

  The app does way more than the built-in color picker.

The post explains the experiment clearly. I wanted confirmation and got it.

  This is like an 'experiment' where you hold out an apple and drop it. Pretty obvious foregone conclusion. Did you do a control, e.g. release the same app on Homebrew with similar marketing? Release another app and market it? You have not explicitly stated what you were attempting to show- it seems to be your personal sentiment that MAS does your marketing for you without considering other possibilities.
