为什么开发工具在Product Hunt上表现出色,却似乎从未获得融资?

我注意到很多小型开发工具(比如命令行工具、构建工具、调试应用等)在Product Hunt和Twitter上表现得非常好。它们获得了点赞、星标和良好的反馈,但很少有工具能够融资或发展成可持续的业务。<p>这只是因为它们太小众,还是与商业模式有关?也许这些工具解决了明确的问题,但没有成为“风险投资规模”的路径?或者开发者群体是一个难以变现的受众?<p>我很好奇这里有没有人构建过类似的工具,或者尝试为开发工具融资却遇到瓶颈。希望听听大家的想法或故事。

I’ve noticed a lot of small dev tools (like CLIs, build tools, debugging apps, etc.) do really well on Product Hunt and Twitter. They get upvotes, stars, good feedback, but very few of them raise money or turn into sustainable businesses.<p>Is this just because they’re too niche, or is it more about the business model? Maybe most of these tools solve a clear problem but don’t have a path to becoming “venture-scale”? Or maybe devs are a tough audience to monetize?<p>Curious if anyone here has built something like this or tried to raise for a devtool and hit a wall. Would love to hear others’ thoughts or stories.
