Problem
A production project that stopped earning its keep. The original problem it solved is not public.
Who felt it
Its users at the time.
Intervention
Built, ran, and maintained a production project.
Role
Founder, builder, operator.
Started
Not public
Stack
Not public
Constraints
Maintenance time, attention, and the honest question of whether it was the right thing to build.
Outcome
Retired deliberately. The lesson: a working system that nobody maintains is a liability, and retiring it on purpose is a decision, not a failure.
Limitations
The product, its history, and its numbers are private and stay that way.
Next step
Keep the lesson. Do not resurrect it without evidence of demand.
