7 years of giving up on projects (finally launched!)
I have always tried to do large projects over the years and have always given up, been called a loser, lost morale, gone into depression, but hopefully with the support of this community (joined today), looking to turn things around.
No more building huge things anymore till there is market demand.

Didn't know about glide app - pretty interesting. Yeah demand is everything - I always look for a few key things, urgency (they need it now), timeliness (they need it often) and important (it's a top of mind problem such that if they find a solution they are willing to share with others).
Don't lose morale - creating a great product people want is HARD. But definitely worth spending time validating the heck out of something first. And hey if it doesn't work try something else. Believe me I've killed a lot of products (I was formerly head of product at Equinox so I know how hard this stuff is), but you move on.
It's hard for all of us even people who do it professionally.
Hi there
Great to have you with us. If you are new to IH, then there is a ton of really useful material. The podcast interviews are solid gold for learning about the process. Courtland's story is also one of trying large projects before he hit on the one that changed everything.
I would think most entrepreneurs have had to try and fail (I certainly have), and it is part of the process unless you are really lucky.
Keep going and remember to enjoy it :)
ps I like the look of your app - a great start.
Thank you
