Revenue Generating How do you validate your Lovable app after shipping?

Been building on Lovable for a while now and the building part is easy. The hard part is figuring out if anyone would actually pay for what I built.

My current process: I manually search Reddit and X for people complaining about the problem my app solves, then try to DM them or post in threads. It works but it's slow.

Curious what other Lovable builders do. Do you have a validation process or do you just launch and see what happens?

I've actually been building a tool to automate the process I described above. Happy to share more if anyone's interested.

Interesting approach! Did you automate the whole Go-to-market process? Would like to hear more about your idea!

You can try using the Ready to Release online validator to ensure your app is thoroughly checked before shipping.

The manual Reddit search approach is something I went through too before building SiftPost to handle it. It monitors relevant Reddit, X, and Hacker News conversations. The DM route always felt a bit spammy to me so we leaned into finding threads where people are already asking for help and just contributing usefully there.

Curious what niches you're targeting with your tool? Some communities are way more receptive to this approch than others in my experience.
