ok so weird backstory - ive been building products for startups for like 8 years now and i got obsessed with this question: why do products that KILL IT on product hunt just... die?
like were talking #1 product of the day, 1000+ upvotes, features in newsletters, the whole thing. and then 6 months later? dead or making $300/month
Had a fascinating discovery call yesterday. Founder showed me their SaaS - built entirely with Cursor in one weekend. Stripe payments, auth, admin panel. Actually works great, they're at $11k MRR.
