Hey everyone,

Couple of months ago, I launched a micro SaaS for freelancers.

The idea was simple: freelancers can create a private status page for each client, so clients can check progress anytime (with no need to login), instead of constantly asking for updates.

I built it because I personally hated the "any updates?" messages working as a freelancer myself.

Here’s what happened since launch:

• Very little traffic
• No real growth despite trying a few marketing channels
• A couple of users, but no strong retention

What I think might be wrong:

• Maybe the problem isn't painful enough
• Maybe freelancers are fine with existing tools (Notion, Trello, etc...)
• Or I just completely failed at distribution

Now I’m at a crossroads:
Do I keep pushing, pivot, or shut it down?

I**'d really appreciate honest feedback:**

• Would you ever use something like this?
• Is the idea flawed, or just the execution/marketing?
• What would you try before giving up?

Happy to share more details if helpful.

Thanks 🙏
