Did your first product fail, and if so, why?

Yep, it failed. It never went to Featured page. I suppose it was because I was a Product Hunt newbie. In fact, I should launch my product again in the next months and see if it happens again.

@manoj_11 Nope, not at all, but I began my journey by signing in on Product Hunt and directly submitting my product without any audience or anything else. I think the best advice when you begin your journey, even before having a product, is to grow your community. It will grow during product development, and you'll probably not be the outsider I was two months ago. Probably not.
@julia_chacurI make efforts to discover numerous launch opportunities, expand my community, and increase my visibility. However, juggling these tasks with product development proves to be extremely challenging.

What is your definition of "fail"?
@silisolutionist Unable to achieve the goal, which could be related to acquiring paid users, discontinuing the project, and so on.
@silisolutionist And what is your definition?

@manoj_11 I'll be more specific. I don't have a defiition for "fail" for anything where the competition can be rigged, i.e. things like number of upvotes, number of followers, number of reviews, etc.. It becomes quite obvious what is happening once you launch. :-)
I have received numerous emails and X DMs asking for my money to buy upvotes. I can see how getting to any spot on the leaderboard can be quite easy. So, for me, getting to where I am after being on PH for only 2 weeks, NOT buying upvotes and solely by connecting with the community is a great, big as success.

@silisolutionist Wow I have been looking for hunters like you!
Our first product failed because it was too technically complex to implement.
