First ever App, how do we find good users?
2 points by baconbkr 746 days ago
A friend and I have spent the last 3 months hacking together a language learning app. And feel like we should now launch. The space is heavily saturated, and we don't want to just be spamming the link to it everywhere we go.

The first app teaches you to find users before you build the second app.

Take a look at a book called "Traction: How Any Startup Can Achieve Explosive Customer Growth" by DuckDuckGo's founder Gabriel Weinberg.

He goes into various channels on how to get users and improve the product.

Looks just like what we need! Ordered it, thanks so much
You can post it on language learning subreddits on reddit, they could be interested in your app.
Did so :)
Definitely going to need to show how you are different/better than all the other apps in what you have described as a "heavily saturated" space
Yeah... Feels quite difficult to do, when all the main channels are so inundated with links and short saas descriptions
> First ever App

I was expecting something historical. I wonder what it was.

Product hunt?
