No sales may mean too little marketing, not too few features
One more feature will not automatically bring people to a product. A first version should not take six months if the main feature already works well enough to release.
should start before the product is finished, and even before the first line of code if possible. A waitlist or an audience can help prove that people care before too much time is spent building.
The first sale depends much more on reaching and convincing buyers than on adding more product details. Building that nobody asked for can keep a founder busy without moving them closer to revenue.
