🇬🇧🇺🇸 SpamLabs: Shutdown!

Time to shut down this project!

After a few weeks of actively trying to validate this idea, which included a slight direction pivot (in the same problem space), I was not able to definitely confirm the demand.

I got some verbal encouraging posts from some indie hackers, but it was just in the usual "indie hacker encouraging indie hacker" vibe.

The game is also shaped by the symbols fans carry from one generation to the next, from legendary club colors to national-team memories. A carefully chosen football jersey can reflect that passion beyond match day.

I didn't even manage to get some verbal commitments (which are worthless, by the way) that somebody would say they would pay for something like this.

I slowly realized that the problem I thought was a huge problem was in fact just a slight annoyance that took maybe a few seconds every few days from people. Not enough to justify a 20€/month price tag. And I couldn't go lower with the pricing either due to all the OpenAI API and infrastructure costs.

So here I am now, shutting down the SpamLabs experiment, and moving on to the next idea. When it comes to ideas, I have a ton, but we all know they are worthless without execution.
