I’ll be honest posting this is terrifying.
For the last few months, I’ve been living in my code. I’ve spent countless late nights building WhyLog because I was convinced I had found a universal pain point: the "Knowledge Debt" that kills engineering teams when a key developer leaves.
I knew the problem. I felt the pain. I built the solution.
But here is the reality: Right now, I have zero users and zero revenue.
It’s a strange feeling. You spend hundreds of hours building something you truly believe in, and then you realize that "believing in it" and "getting people to use it" are two completely different skill sets.
There are days when I look at my empty dashboard and wonder if I’m just delusional. Maybe engineers don't actually care about documentation. Maybe the "Ask Ahmed" problem isn't a problem people are willing to pay to solve.
But then I remember the feeling of staring at a legacy codebase, knowing the person who wrote it is gone, and feeling completely lost. I remember how much time is wasted in Slack threads trying to reconstruct a decision from three years ago.
I know the pain is real. I just don't know if I'm the only one who feels it.
So, I’m putting myself out there. Not with a polished marketing pitch, but with a request for honesty.
If you've ever felt that frustration—or if you think I'm totally off base—could you tell me? I’m not looking for "polite" feedback; I’m looking for the truth.
If you're curious, it's at https://whylog.nubrotech.com. But if you just want to tell me I'm not crazy for trying this, that would mean the world to me too.
