Launching my first commercial project — sova-autonomous-visual-ai-module.
It's an engineering bird: sees, thinks, works autonomously, doesn’t ask stupid questions, and doesn’t demand a subscription. Originally built as part of a larger technical vision, but decided to try selling it separately — fueled by inspiration and, frankly, being broke.
Honestly, I hoped it would sell quickly. But apparently, the market today prefers animated landing pages over real engineering modules. Slightly disappointed by the community response. Seems like autonomous visual intelligence isn’t exactly trendy — it’s not an NFT or a GPT inside a bank app.
Still, the project is real, alive, and working. I’m an engineer with some grit, not a marketer, and this is my first attempt at going commercial. Maybe not the most graceful launch — but definitely an honest one.
If anyone knows how to sell a piece like this quickly, preferably without standing up from the chair — please share your wisdom.
Because falling into the abyss at 50 doesn’t feel like an adventure anymore, more like the first chapter of a tragic memoir.
Would appreciate any advice, feedback, or — who knows — even a buyer.

Listing "SOVA" on platforms like Gumroad, Product Hunt and IndieHackers turned out to be like trying to sell a ship at a kite festival.
There's plenty of wind, plenty of dreams — but almost no buyers.
I reached out to those who create, not to those who pay.
And the difference between these two groups is like that between a poet and a publisher: one is inspired, the other is busy with reports.
Conclusion:
Even if your product is smart and fully functional,
it can hover forever in the digital sky like a satellite with no signal.
The IT world more and more resembles a fairground of presentations,
where success is measured not by usefulness, but by how shiny the wrapper is.
And maybe that's even funny.
But it’s fine.
Those who understand — will find it.
And for everyone else... there's Product Hunt and the eternal search for the next "like" button.
