HN 提问：八年失败的应用开发后，我应该放弃吗？
3 分•作者: asoomi07•6 天前
我之所以这么问，是因为我尝试了八年，在人工智能和“氛围编码”出现之前。我是一名IT工程师，也是一个勤奋的人。在这八年里，我尝试开发了数十款应用程序。起初我总是充满热情，但很快就会失去动力，意识到我的应用程序毫无用处。于是我停止开发，又对另一个应用程序充满热情，如此循环往复。
我曾暂停了一年，因为我开发了一款很棒的应用程序。那是一款本地应用，只针对我的国家，每周能吸引3000名用户。当时我还是个学生，没有钱支付广告费用。所有的增长都来自于自然流量和社交媒体营销。
我开始觉得离成功只有一步之遥。然后，突然之间，出现了至少三款与我的应用几乎一模一样的竞争对手。它们拥有庞大的营销活动，更完善的版本，甚至还有名人推广它们的应用。
我的用户数量从每周3000人下降到2000人，然后是1000人、300人、100人、30人，最后只剩下了一两个。我变得非常沮丧，因为我曾如此接近成功。我一直都是自费开发我的应用程序，当几个月的心血和花费付诸东流时，感觉更加痛苦。
现在我开发了这款新应用。我发布了它，然后过去的创伤又回来了，哈哈。再次面临资金问题，因为该应用涉及API费用。
我尝试跳出思维定势，创作了歌曲，希望如果歌曲走红，我的应用程序也能获得关注。歌曲确实流行起来，也为我带来了一些收入，但应用程序却毫无动静，哈哈。
我又开始产生新的想法，但我必须改掉这个坏习惯。我向自己承诺，我会为这款应用程序而战，并通过投资计划为其融资。
我比以往任何时候都更看好这款应用程序，因为我不是唯一从中受益的人。用户也能从中获得丰厚的回报。那些目前仍在挣扎、免费分享自己提示词的创意人士，可以通过每一次提示词的重混获得可观的收入。
然而，我从未尝试过融资，我内心的一部分仍然在问，这是否只是八年来和所有我开发过的应用程序一样，又一次重复同样的故事。
所以，我需要您诚实的反馈。请不要恶意攻击，因为我已经为我的想法而苦苦挣扎。我也很感激您能推荐适合我项目的投资者或项目。在经历了之前的经历后，我仍然害怕在没有大量营销预算的情况下上线。
谢谢。

I’m asking because I have been trying for eight years, before AI and vibe coding. I’m an IT engineer and a hard worker. During all those years, I tried to build tens of apps. I was always so excited at first, but after a short time, I would get demotivated and realize that my app was useless. So I would stop, get excited about another app, and repeat the same cycle over and over.<p>I stopped for one year because I had built a great app. It was a local app, only for my country, and it was getting 3K users every week. I was just a student, so I had no money to pay for ads. All the growth came from organic traffic and social media marketing.<p>I started feeling that I was very close to success. Then, suddenly, at least three apps that were almost copies of mine started appearing. They had huge marketing campaigns, better versions, and even famous people promoting their apps.<p>My users started dropping from 3K to 2K, then 1K, 300, 100, 30, and finally only one or two. I became really depressed because I had been so close. I have always financed my apps with my own money, and it hurts even more when months of work and spending are gone.<p>Now I have built this new app. I launched it, and then the trauma came back, LOL. Once again, there is the financing issue because the app has API costs.<p>I tried to think outside the box and made songs, hoping that if they became famous, my app would also get attention. Somehow, the songs became popular and started earning me some money, but the app got no attention, LOL.<p>I started getting other ideas again, but I have to break this bad habit. I promised myself that I would fight for this app and finance it through an investment program.<p>I trust this app more than the others because I would not be the only one earning from it. The users could also earn a lot. Creative people who currently struggle and share their prompts for free could make significant earnings from every prompt remix.<p>However, I have never taken the investment route before, and a part of me still keeps asking whether this is just the same story repeating itself again, like it has for the past eight years and with all the apps I have built.<p>So I need your honest feedback. Please, no hate, because I am already struggling with my ideas. I would also appreciate suggestions for an investor or a program that is aligned with my project. After my previous experience, I am still afraid of going online without a large marketing budget.<p>Thank you.
