Just one: me. I've been in stealth mode and I basically "finished" building the website within the last week and have done no advertising (in fact this is the first time I've talked about it online). That leads to the obvious question of how to acquire more customers for a Saas product (which ties to my accelerator question). I'm hoping to gain some insight on the product's broad viability from this post and maybe a ShowHN. People who I talk to in person love the idea and are enthusiastic but none are really in a position to buy it. Thanks for the reply!

I think you should totally do a ShowHN and product hunt. The first test is to just get it in front of people and see what they do with it and what kind of feedback they have. This won't happen magically or automatically. Good luck!
for early users you might want to see if people are searching for something your service offers. post an ad and get some users. probably expensive but I would count that as something might not scale just to get initial users.
Yep, a good idea and I'm currently looking at ad rates for the product. Just initial users who can give me some product feedback is my main goal for now. Thanks!
