请问HN：经过8年的失败应用，我应该放弃吗？
我之所以问这个问题，是因为我已经尝试了八年，早在人工智能和“氛围编码”出现之前。我是一名IT工程师，工作努力。在这段时间里，我尝试了构建数十个应用程序。起初我总是充满激情，但过了一段时间后，我会感到沮丧，意识到我的应用程序毫无用处。于是我会停止，重新对另一个应用程序感到兴奋，然后一遍又一遍地重复同样的循环。
我停了一年，因为我构建了一个很棒的应用程序。它是一个本地应用，仅限于我的国家，每周有3000名用户。我当时还是学生，没有钱做广告。所有的增长都来自于自然流量和社交媒体营销。
我开始觉得自己离成功非常近。然后，突然间，至少有三个几乎是我应用程序复制品的应用程序开始出现。它们有巨大的营销活动，更好的版本，甚至有名人推广它们的应用程序。
我的用户数量从3000下降到2000，然后是1000、300、100、30，最后只剩下一个或两个。我感到非常沮丧，因为我曾经如此接近。我一直用自己的钱来资助我的应用程序，当几个月的工作和支出化为乌有时，这种感觉更是痛苦。
现在我构建了这个新应用。我发布了它，然后创伤又回来了，哈哈。再次面临融资问题，因为这个应用有API成本。
我试着跳出框架，创作了一些歌曲，希望如果它们变得流行，我的应用也能获得关注。不知怎么的，这些歌曲变得受欢迎，开始为我赚一些钱，但应用却没有得到关注，哈哈。
我又开始有其他的想法，但我必须打破这个坏习惯。我向自己承诺，我会为这个应用而奋斗，并通过投资项目来资助它。
我对这个应用的信心超过了其他应用，因为我不会是唯一一个从中获利的人。用户也可以赚到很多钱。那些目前挣扎并免费分享他们创意的人，可以从每个创意重混中获得可观的收益。
然而，我从未走过投资这条路，内心的一部分仍然在问这是否只是同样的故事在重演，就像过去八年以及我构建的所有应用程序一样。
所以我需要你诚实的反馈。请不要批评，因为我已经在为我的想法而挣扎。我也很感激能提供与我的项目相符的投资者或项目的建议。在我之前的经历之后，我仍然害怕在没有大规模营销预算的情况下上线。
谢谢你。

I’m asking because I have been trying for eight years, before AI and vibe coding. I’m an IT engineer and a hard worker. During all those years, I tried to build tens of apps. I was always so excited at first, but after a short time, I would get demotivated and realize that my app was useless. So I would stop, get excited about another app, and repeat the same cycle over and over.<p>I stopped for one year because I had built a great app. It was a local app, only for my country, and it was getting 3K users every week. I was just a student, so I had no money to pay for ads. All the growth came from organic traffic and social media marketing.<p>I started feeling that I was very close to success. Then, suddenly, at least three apps that were almost copies of mine started appearing. They had huge marketing campaigns, better versions, and even famous people promoting their apps.<p>My users started dropping from 3K to 2K, then 1K, 300, 100, 30, and finally only one or two. I became really depressed because I had been so close. I have always financed my apps with my own money, and it hurts even more when months of work and spending are gone.<p>Now I have built this new app. I launched it, and then the trauma came back, LOL. Once again, there is the financing issue because the app has API costs.<p>I tried to think outside the box and made songs, hoping that if they became famous, my app would also get attention. Somehow, the songs became popular and started earning me some money, but the app got no attention, LOL.<p>I started getting other ideas again, but I have to break this bad habit. I promised myself that I would fight for this app and finance it through an investment program.<p>I trust this app more than the others because I would not be the only one earning from it. The users could also earn a lot. Creative people who currently struggle and share their prompts for free could make significant earnings from every prompt remix.<p>However, I have never taken the investment route before, and a part of me still keeps asking whether this is just the same story repeating itself again, like it has for the past eight years and with all the apps I have built.<p>So I need your honest feedback. Please, no hate, because I am already struggling with my ideas. I would also appreciate suggestions for an investor or a program that is aligned with my project. After my previous experience, I am still afraid of going online without a large marketing budget.<p>Thank you.
