I’ve been thinking about how often this happens to me.

I see a new tool or product, read the launch post, try it out, and honestly feel excited about it. It looks useful. It promises to save time or reduce friction. I want it to work.

Then a few weeks later, I realize I have not opened it in a while.

Not because it is awful. More because it never quite became part of my routine. Maybe it was slower than expected. Maybe it required too much setup. Maybe it solved a problem I do not actually have that often.

I am curious how common this is for other people here.

What is a piece of tech you were genuinely excited about, gave a real shot, and then quietly stopped using?

What made you stop?

I am especially interested in answers from people who wanted it to succeed.
