I built a product people said they wanted. No one showed up.

After validating demand on Reddit (100+ interested comments), I built the full thing — database, login system, payment integration.
I launched, did cold outreach, TikTok marketing... but barely any users came.

Motivation tanked. It’s tough. But I learned a lot — especially that interest ≠ action.

Did you ask on reddit for feedback on why they didn't sign up or use it?
Was your implementation bad?
Were you missing necessary features?
Was your UI just hard to use or not intuitive?
Did you get any feedback on it at all?

It may not have been your marketing attempts.
