Market Research and Product demand

[Drchainsaw]

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post on here. I've been busy away working on my startup for about a month now. I decided to take a problem from my industry(software development) and tackle fixing it . Source control has been a relative annoyance to most developers and newcomers to the industry for as long as I've been programming myself. So I have been working on a solution to completely overhaul the entire thing and make it user focused and push towards a more simplified solution for beginners and small to mid sized teams.

Unfortunately im on my 3rd or so rewrite of the software and I've hit a bit of a wall , I've started questioning whether or not the market has a real demand for my product or its just something I myself could benefit from , So i started to do some keyword lookups, research on reddit and the numbers are not really looking in my favor, on top of this my competitors are freeware , so I need to convince users to use my software over paying nothing ( once the software is complete i have no doubt that this can be achieved if the average user has my grievances and want a solution in the first place).
I guess my question is what are some good ways to prove to myself that this project is worth the many years of labor that will be inevitable to complete it ( to other people as-well). I really believe that my software can make an impact on any industry that needs versioning for files?
