It took me multiple failures to realize

Innovation, execution, building, and marketing all are equally hard to crack, these are just the sequence of your journey. Unfortunately, you can learn all these just by doing them one by one, never from books, seminars, courses, or so-called mentors. About failure, well that's very simple you need either know all these before starting the entrepreneur journey or hire people who will do these for you. That's why there is the concept of genuine co-founders if you can't afford a salary. Get one who you can believe and let each other do their best.

Very true

This is so true! It seems like a marketing platform to assist audience growth for indie hackers would be the way to go. Product Hunt definitely helps with this but I'm thinking of something more on a brand promotion level.

Creating a startup is like trying to teach a cat to fetch - possible, but challenging! But hey, the journey is half the fun, right?

As a marketer, I wholeheartedly agree. Marketing a new product is hard! Not just because of a tight budget, but because the road to the product-market fit takes time.
