We launch in eleven days. Before talking about features, me and my team set one goal. Talk to real people and earn a small yes.

What worked for us

Short social videos with a clear call to action at the end brought steady interest. Real help on Indie Hackers first, then a kind invite to join the waitlist. Honest posts on Reddit where we show the problem, the action, and the result, then ask for thoughts.

What did not work

Discord invites did not move the needle. Targeted ads did not land for us before launch. We will try ads again once we go live, with clearer intent and fresh creatives.

Early signs

The waitlist grows a little every day. In the last thirty days, about 1,500 people joined, which means there are only 350 spots left. People reply, ask questions, and request the next demo. That is enough signal for us to keep going.

One ask

If you have one tip for the last eleven days, I would love to hear it.
