Ask HN: I failed at my startup, what's next?

For a long time, I've been the only person working on my startup; and I've now lost all confidence.

We decided to build a a solution much like PagerDuty but then rapidly expanded the scope to include features from cloud-resource utilization, web-performance budgets etc. [mistake 1 of many.]

Initially we built monolith web application, for demos and initial few users, but held up on the release arguing redesign, scalability, and loosely coupled services. [mistake 2 of many.]

After almost an year I'm no where., product is a pile of mess I cant get myself to work on.

I bike or run upto 20miles, to blow off steam but still find it hard to move on. How do people recover from such clusterfks?
