As you may already know, I’ve been working on BlueskyHunter

BlueskyHunter is an all-in-one growth and analytics tool for the Bluesky social platform, helping creators, small businesses, and community builders track performance, discover trends, and manage their accounts more effectively.

I’ve decided to pause development and not add any new features for now. The reason is simple: the market is still too early, and tech enthusiasts don’t have need for analytics or scheduling tools.

Landing the first Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) was an amazing feeling! It validated the effort and showed real potential.

However, the main challenge quickly became the churn rate, which was high due to the early-stage market of Bluesky. Since the platform is still young, many users were experimenting but not yet fully committed, making retention difficult.

Lesson #4 – Key Takeaways

BlueskyHunter didn’t fail it was simply launched too early. The market needs time to grow and mature.

Along the way, I’ve connected with many amazing people, from TechCrunch journalists and investors to talented programmers and industry experts.

This journey has been incredibly valuable, and I’m confident the right timing will unlock its full potential.

Now it’s time for a next chapter.
