Who's your persona? How are you pricing and packaging? Who is your buyer? Are you D2C? Consumer? Replacing EAs? Replacing Project Managers? ...

You need to answer these questions in order to decide whether a Show HN makes sense versus a much more targeted launch.

If you do not know how to answer these questions you need to find a cofounder asap. Technology is commodified. GTM, sales, and packaging is what turns technology into products. Building and selling and fundraising as 1 person is a one-way ticket to burnout, which only makes you and your product less attractive.

I also highly recommend chatting with your network to understand common types of problems. Once you've identified a couple classes of problems and personas for whom your story resonates, then you can decide what approach to take.

Best of luck!

The persona is, someone who knows what are they doing but need someone to actually automate their work routine. I.e. maybe it’s a crypto trader that makes decisions on signals interpretation so they can create a trading bot that executes on their method. Maybe its a compliance who needs automate some routine like checking details further when some conditions arise. Or maybe a social media manager that needs to moderate their channels.Maybe someone who needs a tool for monitoring HN that specific way?

Thanks for the advice! I’m at a stage where I want to have such tool and see who else wants it. Not sure yet about it’s viability as a business and what is the exact market. Maybe I will find out by putting it into the wild and that’s why I consider to release it as a mobile app first.

That's too broad. You aren't going to get any nibbles.

You need to narrow it down to a single and specific persona and business domain.

This is because it takes years to fully flesh out and productionize a workflow from scratch, so concentrating on a business domain you know intimately well helps you build that muscle, which you can then repeat if you are able to hit revenue metrics for a Series A/B.

That persona still sounds too generic, too unfocused.

But even with that persona, it should already answer your question whether posting on HN and producthunt should be a core part of your strategy. Not a lot of social media managers or compliance people around here. And even for crypto traders there are better places to pitch products to them
