This is a honest and fantastic postmortem. The lessons teach us more than the success stories.
I had the same problem of envisioning bigger product goal than I can achieve; I simply overestimated my energy, attention, or ability. Nowadays I try to trim down feature ruthlessly and limit scope to the bare minimum. Work not needed are work done great.
Hope it's not too intrusive. Is $10K/month necessary for living expenses?
Thank you for the great self revelation. I'm sure you'll gain more from it even it doesn't pan out the way you want. Good luck.
