People still care about Github stars? News to me. I used to star repos as a reminder to check them out at a later date, and always forgot to. Only inexperienced devs on GH care about these useless and gameable vanity metrics.

Well yes. This is the first product we've shipped and have no idea how to gain visibility/users without trending on GitHub/HN/Reddit/X. If you have other suggestions, I'm all ears.

Not sure what "gain visibility without trending" means. If you want visibility, you need to show up on front pages. Make a Show HN post.

Understood thank you. Just trying to build karma first because I guess you cant post on show hn without 5-10
