- Take a break

- Experiment with new technologies

You're burned out right now so you're not seeing the big picture. Or rather, you think you're seeing the big picture, which is that you're fucked. But you're really not. You're in a great place and I'm sure your next company will be a success.

Take some time off to reorient yourself, then when you come back to the computer, don't work on anything specific. Just chill and play with new technologies. One day you'll have an epiphany, see an obvious market void, and then your motivation to build a product will come roaring back.

Whatever you do, don't get a job... cmon man that sounds entirely out of line with everything you told us about yourself. That would be a huge waste. Keep plugging away. You'll have success soon.

I don't agree with that. Having a job for a while is great way to keep your time structured (OP has a problem with that guessing from what the wrote) and to stay in contact with other human beings.

Even though I'm always going to be happier as 'my own boss' I've had jobs just to tide me over for a bit or to help out some friends' business. None of those were permanent but long enough to regain a grip on the compass before deciding where to move on to next. That can take some time and that time will eat up your savings rapidly. Better to make that time count for something rather than nothing.
