What happened to FinKitty?

by•

no one asked actually but to be honest i think i had to say something cuz i kinda feel bad that all the support i got here just went away...

right now if you visited the domain you will find out that its listed for sale, i took this decision after a very long sitting with myself and ended up deciding that since im not having any users in this app i might just kill it and shift my focus into something else (working on now)
yet im still holding it inside cuz i do like the name of this app and i feel like it has very good potential and i just cant see it..

so... if you have any great idea for an app named "FinKitty" please let me know
thanks

I get that feeling more than I would like to admit. I have also shut down something that I still believed had potential, but without users it is hard to justify continuing. Sometimes stepping away is the right move

 The name still feels strong to me 🙂 it has personality and is easy to remember. Maybe the issue was not the idea itself but how it was positioned or who it was built for

Did you get any user feedback before deciding to stop?

 to be very honest, yes a single user was very interested at first, he even shared his feedback

then he disappeared..

What problem was FinKitty solving exactly?

 lifts the stress of finances

Did you try different use cases or pivots?

 i pivoted 3 times, yet still, no traction

What made you finally decide to stop?

 the fact that i still don't have

people visit the site out of curiosity, but they don't actually create an account and use the app

Are you open to reviving it later if something clicks?

 of course, if you have any ideas please hit me up

Respect for being honest about it, Mazin. Not enough founders do this - most just quietly disappear.The decision to hold the name is interesting. "FinKitty" has real potential in the personal finance space if it ever found the right angle- something playful that takes the anxiety out of money. That's a big unsolved problem.The harder question is always whether the idea was wrong or the execution/timing was. Sounds like you didn't find the users, but that's often a distribution problem more than a product one.Good luck with templateson - pivoting to something where you can see clearer demand signals is the right call.
