I saw potential in the tool, particularly for BPOs in the MENA region (I am there). I spent the last 6 months rewriting the architecture for multi-tenancy, overhauling the UI/UX, and adding productivity and compliance algorithms.
I recently attempted a launch. It was silent, and frankly, a failure. I realized two things:
- My market research was too reliant on LLMs and lacked real-world validation.
- I do not have the resources (time, capital, or connections) to compete in the saturated "Time Tracking" market while finishing my degree or learning some actually useful job skills.
Now I am faced with two options, holding on for it longer and just shelving it with the excuse that maybe I get to build something around it which brings it back to life, or, Open Source it and share the code (definitely not sure about the quality of code and architecture and didn't care for the most part because I was trying to accelerate the launch) and try and get probably brutally roasted for it.
The whole Idea is to fail forward, so I am asking for both feedback and advice from more experienced peers.
