I solved a problem I had writing some simple scripts. I think it solves a problem for no less than 5k people in my country.

I spoke with a couple of friends with the same problem and they were really interested so I integrated all the scripts in a program with a easy to use gui...

The 2 friends never used the program... the website I created got almost no visits from organic search.

It solves a problem that is related to schools but you have to use the software since the start of the school year to be of help so I'm in the process to cold-email some people about the software...

Unfortunately there are no places where the potential users hang...

After all the time spent reading about mvp, startups, releases, growth hacking, I'm proud I could complete the software and release it... also if nobody will never use it.

I had a pain and solved it but it is not enough when it is impossible to reach the audience of possible users...
