Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Shyam, a developer who’s built many SaaS products over the years. But despite putting in endless hours perfecting them, I made one big mistake every time—I didn’t market them properly. The result? My MRR stayed at zero. Instead of letting those failures get me down, I decided to turn my hard-learned lessons into a game. 0MRR is a humorous, educational experience where you do the exact opposite of what you should in a SaaS business. Think of it as a zero-marketing muscle workout where you actively ruin your own startup by making hilariously bad decisions. 💡 Motivation: After years of falling into the “perfect product, no marketing” trap, I realized many founders face this too. So, I thought—why not make it fun and teach others to avoid the same fate? 💪 The Hustle: • I bought the domain name 0mrr.com a few weeks ago. • I asked ChatGPT for ideas, and I loved the concept of a game where you intentionally fail. • Using Cursor AI, I built the MVP in just 3 hours, and over the next 4 days, I refined it with 134 commits. It’s been a wild ride, and there’s still so much to improve, but I decided to ship it and get feedback from the world. I hope you enjoy making all the wrong choices and learning from the hilariously bad mistakes I (and many others) have made in real life. If you enjoy 0MRR, please show some love! Your feedback and support will keep me hustling. Looking forward to hearing what you think! - Shyam

This is such a creative and satirical spin on the usual entrepreneurial success stories. The idea of actively avoiding growth is hilarious but I wonder if adding some ‘accidental success’ mechanics could make the game even more fun. Sometimes things go right, even when you try your best to mess them up.

This is the only game where losing feels like winning. Can’t wait to make every wrong decision

I've played this, and it's really educational. Encountered it on the Indie Hacker site, thank you Shyam for sharing this, in a fun way!

It's fascinating to see a game that simulates the challenges of juggling multiple projects without the immediate rewards.

Such an innovative approach to make us learn from our bad decisions that seem so obvious to be taken at some or the other point of time! I could relate with so many mistakes which actually didn't add up much to any project's success.
