Great point. From what I've read and experienced, you're right on the money: there is a very good chance no one ever wants to use it. Don't let this paralyze you though - it's why the idea of an MVP and Kickstarter are so popular right now. The best advice I've heard on this topic: just give it the best shot you can, fail fast if it doesn't get traction, and try to learn as much as possible from failing so that your next project is less likely to fail. This gives you a really great deadline too: MPV in 2 months, fail if no traction in 6 months (or even faster?). Alternatively, if you really don't like the above idea or you can't build your idea into an MPV in a couple months, stick with your current job and work on your product on the side. This let's you take as long as you need to make the product, removes the pressure of starving, and can turn into an enjoyable hobby even if you don't get much traction.
