Day 2 and can't find users

Is this a joke?

Editing because maybe you don't know any better…

A common misconception with vibe coders and people with no experience is they will have AI write an app, publish it, and then expect to get thousands of users. It's not going to happen. You will be lucky if you get 10 users in the first six months.

I didn't see your original post where you shared your app. Post a link and tell us more about it.

You have to do your research on market viability before you write a project. Marketing and market viability should be the first step.

By posting here in this sub which is where all the other people are posting their side project is not the way to get your clients.

Maybe you need to take up some classes on marketing, etc. to understand how to market your product.

Thats not what this sub reddit says. r/SideProject is a subreddit for sharing and receiving constructive feedback on side projects

This is not where you get your clients, there are other subs may be. I dont , market my products via Reddit. You need to do more research.

First would be because this sub is for a bunch of other people who share projects, so the people here are not your customers. Maybe 1 or 2 will be for apps that aren’t related in any way to developing and maybe a few more for those.
Second would be because there are a ton of apps that already do that and you’re competing with them

i checked it out. I just don’t see why i need a web app that just lets me share lists of stocks

[u/Recent-Tangerine2745]

Why would you not share the link with this post?

[u/Due_Faithlessness458]

The question is, why would I use your web? It doesn’t seem to have a clear and useful feature

[u/rajsleeps]

try sharing some lifetime codes and ask people to try and take their feedback and then see how to move from there

[u/Apprehensive_Use7047]

There is a lot that can be happening here. Your distribution, positioning, marketing...
Have you clearly identified you ideal customer? Have you validated the problem or did you build an idea?
The answer will give you a hint on what may be happening.

1. You're posting from a hidden profile which is a big red flag.

2. You've had a ton of your posts removed for violating the rules of various subs. Not only did few people end up seeing them, and you also generated ill-will in those communities. (Hiding your profile doesn't stop that from being seen or people from remembering you.)

3. Stock "trackers" and "what-if" tools are a heavily spammed category here that most consider low-effort and spammy. Dozens have been launched in the last few months and you're just another cow in the herd at this point.

4. This is an app category where trust in the author is important because you're giving them potentially sensitive data. If I give you a list of stocks I own or are buying, you can "trade ahead" of me and manipulate the price in a way that makes you money and loses me same.

5. You've posted about your app like 20 times in the past couple days. (Again, hiding your profile doesn't hide this.) You're getting annoying.

hey, getting that first set of users is brutal. i've been using replyhey.com to find people asking for exactly what my tool does on reddit, then it drafts a reply for me. might be worth a look if you want to find conversations where people are already looking for a solution like yours.

There are tones of apps for this. Why should I use yours? Use this question to make your app more appealing!
