I hate to be the Debbie Downer here, but the answer is no. The first thing I saw on your home page was `npm install formsmd` which tells me two things (unfair as it is): first that you aren’t focused on sales - which is what makes money - and second that you’re selling to developers which are probably one of the worst target markets to sell to. They’re skeptical, demanding, and an all around onerous bunch.

There’s no reason you can’t try this out as a slow burn side project that may one day - many years from now - turn into a reliable income that frees you from the usual rat race plantation job, but this is not something you should do while unemployed and burned out. You brushed it off but the other sibling comment that said that is 100% correct. STOP. You will not go viral and get a thousand monthly subscribers overnight. You can still work on this project as therapy for your burnout, but you must go into it with zero delusions of short term financial viability.

“I just run head-first into development” does not make money. Sales and marketing make money. If you don’t even have an idea of what that would really look like, this will only end in tears.

On the other hand, how many sales have you and will you make from this post? That may change the calculus w.r.t. virality if you can figure out how to do some more quality advertising. But if it’s going to work you need a mind shift from developer to entrepreneur.
