You can build anything. Then nobody comes. Anyone else?

If you're a technical founder, you know the feeling. Nights, weekends, straining of relationships, your own money go into something genuinely world class. You ship it. And then... crickets. Nothing. Nada.

So you go looking for help, and your AI tells you it looks amazing, your friends tell you it looks amazing, and nobody will say the actual truth: your positioning is vague, "for developers" isn't a customer, your landing page is awful and no one can tell what the thing even does.
