Rakathos··on My product failed
Absolutely, four months when compared to other SaaS products (or any product in general) is a laughably short amount of time to judge anything a success or failure.

I probably should have explained a bit more in depth about why I'm calling it a failure:

I'm simply not interested in the product I built anymore. Inventory for small businesses is something that doesn't hold my attention as it used to when I built the product, and I'm not sure it ever did.

Right now it's hard for me to load up my IDE and start working on the product. I feel like I don't know what to do with it as it is, and that stems from the lack of interest.

I'm taking a couple weeks to go over my options, and I think I've got a decent plan to revitalize it.

I haven't given up on the product itself, or the core problem it solves (inventory management). I've only given up on who it's marketed to.

Like you said, I think the best option is to change to a smaller niche. The one I have in mind will radically change how the product looks and functions, but it will still be inventory management.
