Four months ago, one of my projects was ready to be posted on "Show HN", and so I did. After a couple of hours it reached the frontpage and traffic was through the roof. A handful dozen of trial users signed up, and with feedback of the community, I thought that if I were to spend a bit more time on it, this would be the side project I could continue working on and make some side-money with. Long story short, four months later, I am the only user of my service. I hired a brand strategist who looked at the market, with who I forged a marketing plan, and with who I set goals. Needless to say, none of them were met. What does/can this mean? Should I accept that what I built will only be used by myself, or is this a phase each product/service goes through? If only there were one extra paid user, I would have enough motivation to continue, but with zero conversion the motivation starts to fade. I think it is irrelevant to re-post a link to the project, but feel free to ask/look...

I recently redescovered the keynote video in which Looking Glass was announced and realized it’s now 12 years old. I remember watching this video in awe and still today I findit quite remarkable although a bit gimmicky. https://youtu.be/JXv8VlpoK_g I wonder what was the motivation behind this project and why it never really took off. Also what are the people behind it up to nowadays - does anyone here know the backstory to this?

Updates to gist are getting lost. It accepts them as normal but the next page load for the gist is the previous version. Twitter accounts describe the same sort of problem for git repos. status.github.com reports "We're failing over a data storage system in order to restore access to GitHub.com."
