So, have you released your product? Might be an alpha or something.

I have biggest shit-not-done with my side project. Don't really know how to make it marketable either...

But I have some ideas on how to start.

  • Small, manageable goals.
  • Start with backend and CLI. Frontend beauty is the greatest killer for me.
  • Realize layers. Database layer. Blob storage. Authorization layer.
  • Clean code. Forget-and-restart-able. Reusable. Well-documented.

Your discussion on unique selling point (USP) is interesting. My idea is that there must be some distance from adaptability to existing products.

almost :D need some more quality of life features and want to integrate a serial key system.

small manageable goals sounds good. use component libraries for frontend and change design later. and for the clean code part, just use good variable names and KISS. you should be fine. I have not written any documentation for this project and I have no problems finding into it again even after week/months.
