I spent three months building something nobody wanted

I have been adjacent to this. The sentence I would not skip is "The product is not bad". Finding who it is for mattered more than adding another feature.

What was the first sign you trusted in "I am writing this down because I wish I had heard it plainer"?

Respectfully, "I built the workflow I wanted, skipped customer calls, and launched to a quiet list" is an observation, not yet a decision. What number would make you reverse it?

Quiet launches still teach you something if you can name who did not care. Did you get indifference, or people who liked it and did not return?

I did the wide MVP too. The feature requests made it feel alive. None of them were a habit. I am cutting it back to one job now.

The painful version of this is that the calls feel slow, so the build wins the week. Two conversations would have killed my last idea in an afternoon.
