6 Months of My Life vs. Your 2-Second Attention Span: A Love Story

I built it. You ignored it.

Six months.

Not a weekend "Hello World." Not a tutorial clone. An actual product I cared about.

And the result?

7 views.

I’ve genuinely seen "how to center a div" posts get more attention.

At this point, I’m impressed.


Let’s be real for a second

We spend all day complaining.

  • Big tech spies on us
  • Apps are bloated
  • Nothing feels original anymore

Then someone actually builds something to fix that…

…and it gets scrolled past like it’s radioactive.

The logic is flawless.


The reality check

It’s like saying you’re dying of thirst, someone hands you water, and you go:

"Nah… got a short video explaining it?"

Or saying you want to get in shape while your couch has a permanent imprint of your body.

Consistency matters, I guess.


I get it

  • I’m not a tech influencer
  • This isn’t a "I made $10k with AI" post
  • There’s no flashy hype attached to it

Just something I built. That’s it.

Which apparently is the least interesting thing on the internet.


My humble request (aka: please hurt my feelings productively)

Look, I’m not asking for praise.

At this point, I’d settle for criticism.

Try it once.

Break it.

Tell me it’s bad.

Tell me the UI looks like it was designed during a caffeine overdose.

Anything is better than whatever this current "invisible to humans" phase is.


The deal

If you’re going to ignore it, fine.

Just don’t pretend you’re waiting for better products

when you won’t even click one.

TL;DR:

I built something. You ignored it. I’m slightly salty.

Take 2 minutes. Try it.
Then tell me what’s wrong with it. I guarantee you’ll find something.
