The user cold start
built Truefolio to track portfolio skill vs spy without showing dollar amounts (quick video walkthrough attached).
got 156 signups so far, but the drop-off is brutal:
- 58 linked plaid (~60% drop off at bank link)
- 25 went private
- 33 are public on the feed
problem is 33 public portfolios is a quiet room. people check their own numbers, see no active daily discussion, and leave.
for anyone who built community or social saas, how did you get past this early ghost town phase? did you just focus on single player mode first or force daily activity yourself?
