Most people here aren't founders. They're people avoiding 9-5.

Scroll through half the launches here and it's obvious. Cool tech, clever execution, no real problem underneath.

Built because building is fun, not because someone was stuck without it.

Nothing wrong with that honestly, building for fun is a legitimate reason to build.
But calling it a "startup" or acting confused when it doesn't get traction is where it falls apart.

A bored person solving their own boredom isn't the same as a founder solving someone else's pain.

Be honest about which one you're doing.
They need completely different strategies to actually work.

Most people building here are doing the first one and marketing like it's the second.
