为什么开发者工具在 Product Hunt 上大受欢迎，却似乎很难融到资？

我注意到很多小型开发者工具（比如命令行工具、构建工具、调试应用等）在 Product Hunt 和 Twitter 上表现非常出色。它们能获得大量赞、星标和好评，但很少能融到资或发展成可持续的业务。
这仅仅是因为它们过于小众吗？还是更多地与商业模式有关？也许这些工具解决了明确的问题，但却没有发展成“风险投资规模”的路径？或者，也许开发者是一个难以变现的受众？
好奇这里有没有人构建过类似的东西，或者尝试为开发者工具融资却碰壁的。很想听听大家的想法或经历。

I’ve noticed a lot of small dev tools (like CLIs, build tools, debugging apps, etc.) do really well on Product Hunt and Twitter. They get upvotes, stars, good feedback, but very few of them raise money or turn into sustainable businesses.<p>Is this just because they’re too niche, or is it more about the business model? Maybe most of these tools solve a clear problem but don’t have a path to becoming “venture-scale”? Or maybe devs are a tough audience to monetize?<p>Curious if anyone here has built something like this or tried to raise for a devtool and hit a wall. Would love to hear others’ thoughts or stories.
