Why I Killed My Own Product Before Writing a Line of Frontend Code

A few weeks ago I had a working backend, a working frontend, Docker
Compose running the whole thing locally, a render.yaml drafted for
deployment, a VPS and Caddy alternative written up as a backup plan,
tests passing, and a README a stranger could actually follow. By most
measures I had shipped something. And then I looked at it properly and
decided to throw it away.

Not the code style. Not a few features. The product idea itself.
