Ask HN: Have you ever built something no one wanted?

2 points by crispytx ↗ HN
I woke up this morning with this awful feeling, "I think I just spent the past 3 months building something no one wants." Has anybody else ever experienced this? I don't want to give up too early, but I also don't want to waste my time working on something no one wants.

definitely - i built a online photo album web-app, thought it was pretty cool - you could upload photos, add captions, and then narrate a story to accompany it - much easier than typing of course - and well, if it was worth taking and posting - why not tell why it was so impactful - anyway - people were inherently too lazy - in this social media age people just barf a bunch of crap onto the internet and expect people to lavish over it...
Yes.

We could help you if you told us more about your case.
