#2I may try to offload https://jiminyclick.com at some point just because I've lost interest in it. Couldn't gain traction. No users, just the tech. It's an Outlook plugin that tells you if you're about to email the wrong person by accident.

Is it ok to ask, what made you not pursue it?

I feel like it's such a niche thing. It's a feature that should be built into Outlook. Which is cool but it's the most boring thing ever once I finished it and nobody was banging down my door :)

Thanks for sharing. What made you build this?

Noticed people would often send out confidential email to the wrong person because they'd click the wrong auto-complete entry when they shift. This thing reads your email, figures out you meant to click the other "Bob", and warns you. And my place of work can't use it as it's too regulated and requires a bunch of SOC2 stuff that I haven't done.

I have a theory that there are a bunch of great products out there, waiting for a great marketer or salesperson to take them to the masses. Rather than the side project marketplace, it's a marketplace to have sales people join you on standardized terms (eg rev share 50/50 of the sales they make). I know there are a bunch of bright SDRs and AEs that would love a side project but can't build.
Would anyone bite on this?

That's basically what I'm missing. I'm not cut out for sales, and this is something that absolutely requires a sales person explaining and doing demos.

What about the fact that build a great product and people will come?
