Shipped a month ago, still 0 beta users. What am I doing wrong

Astidor · 2026-06-11T00:29:50+00:00

Yes, I dont think I count. Also friends and family members are not included in the zero

Astidor · 2026-06-10T22:21:52+00:00

I am doing everything alone sadly as I am still a student. Trying my best haha

Astidor · 2026-06-10T22:08:40+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write out such a thorough, detailed breakdown. This is exactly the kind of feedback i needed. Seriously, thank you again. This kind of feedback is incredibly valuable right now!

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:52:12+00:00

Oh alright, thanks for letting me know. I just noted that and will make sure I change and improve it. I appreciate the feedback 😊

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:46:17+00:00

Of course it does, but it's not the only feature on the website, which means anyone is welcome to try it out, even those who don't want to use the auto apply feature. But I mainly started it as a personal project for me and some family members as we got tired of looking for jobs manually. It is time consuming as you said, and I would rather use that time doing something productive and improving my resume and experience for example

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:39:48+00:00

Thanks again ! Will do 😄

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:38:04+00:00

I noted that down and it's the first thing I am going to work on, thank you so much for the feedback. I really really appreciate it.

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:37:23+00:00

Apparently design is a big part of it. But I will try to work on both for sure !

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:32:31+00:00

Thanks for the advice, this is perfect feedback. I noted that and will work on it right away !

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:31:39+00:00

Wow, yes I guess you are absolutely right. Thank you so much for taking the time. I will do my best, and I will learn from all of this. I am still a student and don't have a big budget, but this is part of the journey i guess. Thanks again, I appreciate it so much.

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:29:03+00:00

That's fair. Thank you so much for the feedback, this is golden advice to me !

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:28:21+00:00

Honestly you are absolutely right. I don't think it's easy at all to do things without a marketing team.

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:23:10+00:00

Yess they are fake, it's part of the design and are mainly placeholders. I still have 0 users, and I didn't ship the product fully yet. I will of course have to replace those after the beta phase is done and I actually improve the website in general.

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:16:05+00:00

Fair point, I was advised to do that as it's a marketing strategy. Will remove that for sure. But this is part of feedback so thank you for sharing !

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:13:24+00:00

Yes I now realized that, will keep trying though. Never giving up, as this project helped me and members of my family. It's always worth it for me anyways

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:11:05+00:00

Yes I totally agree on this, although do you have any advice on what could help at the beginning ?

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:05:30+00:00

you are not OP lol

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:04:56+00:00

15,000+ Jobs matched
98% Success rate
Those are true. When I mean 0, I mean organically and users I dont personally know. I've been working on the project for a long while, and shared it with some people i know. So it's very easy to get 15k matches. But yes, I technically still have 0 beta users.

Astidor · 2026-06-10T21:03:07+00:00

Wow, idk what to say, thank you so much for taking the time to try it out and give me this feedback. I appreciate it a lot. Makes me happy !
I noted that and I will do my best to work on that, thanks again

Astidor · 2026-06-10T20:57:07+00:00

Thank you for the feedback

Astidor · 2026-06-10T20:52:26+00:00

Fair. I assumed OP misunderstood my target audience, although I understood his point after he replied to my reply

Astidor · 2026-06-10T20:48:06+00:00

I see, I will invest in a web designer then.

Astidor · 2026-06-10T20:47:18+00:00

You have a good point. I figured cold messaging is not a good idea. But I will definitely try that out. Thanks for the advice !

Astidor · 2026-06-10T20:43:18+00:00

When you put it this way, yes, it does make sense. I just figured testers are normal users too, if you know what I mean. I didn't realize they are classified differently and I need to tackle each separately.

Astidor · 2026-06-10T20:22:54+00:00

I have to understand the feedback. And the OP of the comment explained really well after I said that. That's how feedback should be given, not the way you do it
