The post argues that finding a genuine pain point, iterating relentlessly, and simply not quitting through the lows (copycats, bad reviews, subscription backlash) is the real recipe for sustainable revenue. The author also announces they will stop publicly sharing revenue numbers going forward, choosing instead to share process and lessons. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
