this is admittedly self-promotional but i've built a free app that helps with this... it's a web app designed to literally "maintain relationships with users" especially new projects.

you can see how i'm doing this in www.yen.chat — the communication platform is also a community platform where i can get feedback about the product itself, from them directly. i engage and build community around topics that we all like and slowly build the project.

i'd love to help!
