I made a Product in my free time (after work hours)

it's a SAAS thats supposed to be an add-on to apps and websites

Added it to my own apps (what better than Test in prod) and over months fixed its pitfalls n ngl, even im impressed by its core tech and resilience

But thats kinda it -.- Ik I should make a landing page and launch it etc but I lost the will the day the "core tech" was 99% perfected
Im a Product guy not a businessman T__T

It's the weirdest mental block ive had in a while ffs.

    What did you build? People make landing pages way before the product they‘re building is presentable at all to validate it against the market. I mean just try it, in the worst case you learnt something new, best case you can hire someone to play support ;)

    @Chewbanacas a pseudonymous Audience Engagement Platform that lives "inside" apps and websites

    it's supposed to increase app DAU/MAU by adding direct user-interaction without the app/website needing to care about User Authentication (coz Users only sign up on My Site)
    Add live analytics and moderation to it and voila. Even if you're a newbie app dev who wants to add Engagement to their app for free, it's just an SDK import.
    If you've a business who wants users to "talk" on their app/site instead of twitter/fb, but with moderation coz ToS, that works too, ofc they have to pay tho or be ok with ads

    And in my apps that do use it, I've higher AdMob earning coz ppl now open the app back often to see if someone replied to them in the chat or go "OMG DID Y'ALL SEE WHAT HAPPENED?" since my app's a News One and things always be happening

    @Chewbanacas Tbh even if a few ppl use it, I dont mind coz I host it on DataCentre-server and my Ad income from the apps it's embedded in, already helps me break-even
    So it doesnt cost me money coz I made everything myself and no "cloud" BS (ew)

    But I do like money xD so I'd want it to go beyond 'breaking even'. I'll have to push through to make a Landing Page, coz It already has 100s of users so maybe it aint that bad?

    @azuredivay bruh you’re like that guy who lives with three kids and his wife in a nice home, but still tells the wife „it’s okay if you just wanna be friends“. Go make some money

    I get that feeling.
    You build something cool but can't sell it because the brain says no.
    I build things, not sell things.

    @Chewbanacas im more likely to go "I love y'all but im bored so I'll disappear for a few years" πŸ’€
    @Ranchonyx yep, the brain stops working beyond the product, every extra step is a chore :v
