Shutting down

Sitebot started as a side project, but after a while, it was evident that converting users to customers was challenging. This led to losing motivation on the project.

I learned many valuable lessons about SaaS and myself, and I'm focusing on other projects.

    Sucks to see this shut down. I’d love to hear about where you were at with conversion issues. Would you consider bringing it back online with another hacker helping out?

      All of the issues were really related to the fact that I didn't have clear target group that would actually buy the product. I was targeting smaller users and teams that aren't really keen on spending that much, the product could have worked if it were aimed at bigger companies but that brings different challenges.

      Honestly, I'm not interested in continuing with this project right now.

        I totally understand. Makes sense. Hey, if you’re not interested in continuing, I’d be 100% down with taking over if that’s cool. I’m primarily a Rails dev & looking to level up my other skills. What do you think?
