I Built the Product. Then 7 Users Signed Up.

Not 7,000.

Not 700.

Just 7.

This is about an old project of mine called Rizzzler.
Live at https://www.rizzzler.work.gd
I built it while learning, spent countless hours improving the UI, adding features, fixing things, and trying to make the experience genuinely useful.

I even made it open source because I wanted people to see what I was building.

I wasn't backed by investors.
I didn't have a huge audience.
I built it with almost no budget, deploying as cheaply as possible and learning everything along the way.

And that's when I learned something nobody really tells you:

Building something good doesn't mean people will come.

After all that work...

7 people created an account.

The hardest part wasn't coding.

It was the silence after launching.

Not the bugs.
Not deployment.
Not debugging at 2 AM.

The silence.

I'm not posting this for sympathy.

I'm posting because I know many developers have experienced the same thing.

You build.
You polish.
You improve.
You launch.

Then you check the analytics...

Nothing.

So I'm asking for honest feedback.

• What would stop you from using it?
• What feels missing?
• What should I have improved?
• Would things like social login have made a difference?

I'd rather hear honest criticism than watch another day go by with zero users.

Maybe this reaches nobody.

Or maybe someone reading this becomes user #8.

Either way, I'll keep building. 🚀
