#23Great post, I enjoyed reading it.
I'm in a similar position with a product for people selling their homes. At this point I'm tempted to spend some money on advertising but don't know where to begin.
Have you tried ads at all?

#25Feel a bit sad about the author but I suppose they did learn some useful things they were not aware before. As for resume builder, the market is extremely saturated, it peaked probably 4-6 years ago when quite a few people made some decent money selling fancy looking templates on Etsy or even rolled out dedicated websites for it. My advice for all aspiring developers- entrepreneurs is to spend less time on developer oriented websites like HN or Indie Hackers which are often just echo chambers. Go out and talk to people who do some completely different things and your eyes will open.

#26Your time-line is remarkably similar to what I've experienced, I also quit my finance job to start a business with a co-founder in 2018 at the age 26. It's also an online product but quite different so it's hard to draw additional parralels but I can totally appreciate your up and downs along the way. It kind of sucks sometimes but for me it's also why I did this in the first place, so I don't look back in my mid thirties with kids and a mortgage and wished I'd did something more with my life when I still had that flame in me. Best of luck! However it turns out at least you took your shot when you had the chance, sometimes that's all that matters

#30Correct me if I'm wrong, but this business appears to be... A template? Like a word template, but the fields are separated so they're harder to navigate.
Why would I, as a customer, use this?
