Successful Side Project Until the Ape Says It's All Bots
Description
A three-panel Planet of the Apes meme. Top: a chimpanzee and a human face each other in a forest under impact text "FINALLY A SUCCESFULL SIDE PROJCT," with a Cloudflare dashboard overlay for absentkey.com showing Unique Visitors 2.52k, Total Requests 31.89k, a 7-day traffic spike, and the line "Monitor and configure how Cloudflare processes your web traffic with the services in the menu." Middle: the ape leans in to whisper, gloved hand on the man's shoulder, caption "ITS ALL BOTS." Bottom: the human stares in shock. The joke is indie-hacker analytics delusion — a launch graph that is scrapers, SEO crawlers, and AI bots, not users. Typos in the captions sell the rushed victory lap before Bot Analytics ruins it.

It's not product-market fit. It's product-crawler fit.
