I failed 30+ projects. Here is what I do when I feel like crap after a failure
A while ago, I felt like total crap, and after I went back on track I wrote an article to help me next time. I shared it on Twitter and people found it useful, so I thought it could also be helpful to other indies here:

Stay strong, and keep shipping!
Jean. Your products are all really impressive.
They have potential to succeed. In my opinion, marketing should be done first before launching new product. If the result of marketing is not good, that means your idea is not good. You should give up early for this kind of product.
As I participated in many startup projects, I felt same feelings with you.
Don't give up. You are super man!
Cheers!
Failure is the best teacher
Hey man, some of the books or resources you recommended here
Read that, that and that. Send some cold emails if relevant. Post on Twitter. Try Ads. Just do stuff. You want to share your product as much as possible as quickly as possible to fail as quick as possible. It will avoid wasting time if people don’t wants it.
Have broken links, I am actually pretty curious to find out what they were :)
Also good article thanks, man.
Oh, yes I need to update that 😅
This was refreshingly real, thanks for writing lol
Impressive.
Failure is the path to an error minimization.
Neural nets or simple algos like linear regression do exactly that in gradient descent. The distance error to true path is calculated and then weights are changed to minimize it.
Yep, definitely!

Same here, scaled a store to $500,000 of sales, all the profit went into ads and other costs haha
That's the main reason I stopped eCommerce.
Never give up Jean, learn from what went wrong, and do it better next time, I did a lot of mistakes that cost a lot of money and time, but still, I'm trying something new every time with new lessons. All the best!
