Successful execution is 33.333% of the journey. Solid marketing is the differentiator.

Take for example, we frequently see Cursor, Aider, Windsurf, copilot, but rarely are there mentions of cline, roo and I think like only once or twice in very early days we saw mentions or Supermaven.

While Cursor runs babble from supermaven creator, many cursor users don’t know what supermaven is though they may know Aider or even cline.

Now draw your conclusion.

P.S. while I have no connection with supermaven, I do use it day to day personally as cursor/windsurf feels overhyped and crucial target to be acquired and enshittified anytime now(windsurf already got digested by oAI).

Good example. I paid for Cursor for my job (with company credit card) without even knowing that Aider, Windsurf, Supermaven, cline and roo existed.

Actually, except for Windsurf, I only learned about the others from your comment.

I get that, not aiming for millions or billions (would be nice ofc). I'm just saying that is extremely hard to bring visits without dumping loads of cash and is 2x harder to make them even signup. I'm good with the execution but this marketing part drains me. A partnership with someone that knows how to bring customers would be ideal I reckon.
