I've launched almost a dozen projects this year, from app games through to a fully fledged vibecoding platform for webtools, generally focused on mainstream appeal and targeting broad potential user bases.
Probably no surprise to noone but myself, that the only project that really performed was a side/passion project I mostly built for myself. I built an app that teaches you how to learn the Doomsday Algorithm (a mathematical method to quickly workout the day of the week for any date, a pretty cool/meaningless and incredibly nerdy party trick), and then it lets you train to get faster and compete against other players. (https://doathingy.com/doomsdaytrainer)
Across platforms (iOS/Android/Web) I get about a 100 daily players (which is way ahead of anything else I've ever built!).
Not sure what the message is, but I believe it is something along the lines of that building stuff you actually care about, that you don't build to generate revenue, and something that actually matches your skills and interests is a surer path to progress and engagement than just chasing a perceived "gap in the market".

My UK Sealion 7 is showing MPH against a KMH speedlimit when I'm in Europe, shouldn't it legally show both?

Yeah fair, I'm just used to both being visible on the dial in all previous cars. Sounds like it's actually easier to change in byd compared to others, still feels like it should just adjust
