Yessir. I launched a platform to help students help hold each other accountable. I was embarrassed to share it; it felt like I needed to add more features. I launched anyways and it failed spectacularly for many reasons. The main issue was that fundamentally, we're bringing a lot of people who are unmotivated and looking for a magic fix to their problem. They have all these resources that they paid for in their tuition already. It gets a bit deeper

@my_phung do you really think adding more features would have solved the problem?

We need to analyze better - that’s the main lesson :)
