I understand your point, and I can relate to that feeling. But in my case, I am building this project for two main reasons. First, I want it to help other people earn money instead of making them pay for something they may only use for a short time. Second, I also want it to change my life, so I see it as a real business. If it gets no attention and makes no money, then for me, it would be difficult not to see that as a failure. I also have a few side apps that I built completely for free because I originally made them for myself and later decided to put them online. Around 100 people now use them with me, and that honestly feels good, so I completely understand what you mean. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

For an app to turn into a sustainable and real business many factors come into play. I'm still pondering upon them myself. As a founder what did you do differently this time with your new app that increases your odds of making it a success? Did you validate your idea before building or it was just your assumption that people would buy it? How painful or valuable the problem is that you are solving with your app? Is there a demand for your app or are you trying to create a demand too? Are you solving around just a convinience or a painful problem for people to care enough? About app distribution, are you just hoping and leaving it to luck or you have a plan (even on a budget) to get some eye balls on the app? Many questions to pause and reflect about.
