That's amazing. It also took me a year to build a product... But still no revenue!
I built an on-demand remote browser product[0], and safe link opener[1], and I made it open source[2] but paid license and no one paid.
I know people are using it because of the binary, npm CLI downloads, and use of the demos, and I had some inbound interest but mainly people who seemed to want to not pay, or were just prospecting tools for future possible features.
I think an issue is that these products are mostly for enterprise and big orgs, who mostly want to buy from established brands or connected people. I tried posting on gum-road and using my linked in premium trial to message possible customers, as well as cold email, but I guess this "product" is not meant to be.
That's OK since I was only releasing it to fund me as a layer of a larger product I'm building.
Exactly. Sometimes it IS all you need. When it is, just use something v simple. When it's not, use something more aptly fit.
The key point which I think is lost in a lot of the new age framework fanaticism is that people ought to pick the right tool for the job, not just the shiniest, most expensive tool on the eye-height shelf.
Otherwise it's like those...hardware store man/femme-shed wannabe wankers who purchase these crazy gadgets when all they really need is a file and a hammer. Don't be that person/company/project.

I know this is supposed to be about generating revenue but some others posted without revenue so I thought it's OK to share :)
