I'm experiencing build fatigue!
I can build almost anything I want. building has stopped being rewarding enough specially after months of trying to build something that gets sold.
I built a language school management software sold it to one school only (warm lead) and failed to get any other school interested I kept sending emails and kept getting ghosted!
I built a gym workout tracker and reached out personally to the gym IM working out in and the gym owner told me what if people start using your app and stopped coming to me for help or advice. which also got me feeling down and didnt publish the app on the app store.
the big hit was yesterday where I released "@powertelebot" on telegram.
Power is a telegram bot builder what is different than other bot builders is that this one has a unique telegram native app that makes building a bot and managing it easier than ever.
I spent over 12 months building it. we had great vision of me and another content creator with over 3+ million followers on all social media platforms combined who was my business partner who also ghosted me 7 months in because I was slow at building that project.
I was slow because I wasn't using AI agents! I wrote every line of my Power myself at least every line of the first build. I used React and golang and was obsessed with the tiny details.
Then 5 months in I needed to rewrite the whole thing because the first version was using trigger -> action model which is very hard to get right building complex bots. so I wanted to rewrite to a script version. every bot is a script that LLMs inside power build to make it easy to build any bot no matter how complex.
so to not burn another 5 months I used Claude code, I was impressed!
but ended up spending another 5 months doing multiple rewrites I have finally released the third major build. but I lost a marketing partner who was suppose to market our product.
and now I'm stuck should I go learn marketing and try to get revenue for power or should I just give up and get a Job (I have been freelancing here and there but don't really have a stable income) not that getting a job is easier necessarily specially in todays market of software engineering.
but like I am really lost! I hate cold outreach it makes me feel as a begger and I don't really have the funds to run ads you need content that has organic reach to make as ads anyway.
Should I work with an agency for percentage of the profits? should I try to reach out to content creators in the space? should I brute force outreach? what would you do if you are in my situation?
