Why am I reading this instead of reading why your product is so great? It's sad that this ycombinator news about you failing reached me, and your product didn't.
The world is against you. It's agains me too.
And building something people actually want is really hard. And it's probably not what you want. You're probably different than your customers.
Try again. You can do it.
Don't be a customer. Be a provider. Do something for me. Do what I want done... something I am not willing to do myself.
Don't build what you want. Build what people want.
Ask what people want.
I want to eat bread and drink orange juice but I don't want to bake bread or squeeze oranges.
I am willing to pay probably up to $10 for orange juice every few weeks.
Ask me (prospects/customers) what we want.
You can't buy the answer. You have to ask for it many, many times and listen to what people say and then think really hard how you can deliver that to them and turn a profit.

Three tries is not that many.
Try again.
Try smarter.
Put in less work and less money but try again.
