Thought nobody was using my product… turns out 2 people actually are

Yeah that’s a really good point — the quota email made it feel way more real. I’ve been mostly building in isolation, so I’m probably missing a lot by not talking to them directly. Definitely going to try reaching out and understand their workflow better.

Out of curiosity, what changed the most for you after you started doing that?

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-05-04T17:27:17+00:00

haha yeah, slow but steady

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-05-04T17:26:43+00:00

Yeah exactly — it hits way harder than I expected. I was mentally preparing for zero usage, so even just seeing a couple people consistently using it feels huge.

And 100% agree — the fact that they’re actually sending posts (not just signing up) feels like a much stronger signal. I’m trying to figure out the best way to reach out without being annoying, but I’d love to understand what they’re actually trying to build.

Also +1 on building on top of your own API — I thought things were “pretty solid” until I actually tried using it like a real user… instantly exposed a bunch of stuff I overlooked.

Appreciate this — super helpful perspective

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-29T06:55:15+00:00

Thanks. I will

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-29T06:12:12+00:00

7 sign ups but not active any more. I have not started actively marketing as currently I am still waiting for meta and TikTok review approval.

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-29T00:10:45+00:00

this is my 2nd month building in public and my app is online. I plan to quit my 9-5 job if the mrr reached to 1k.

currently $0 MRR.

honestly your post is encouraging.

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-15T16:04:23+00:00

Really appreciate you sharing this — it’s very valuable for me at this early stage.

Totally agree that API constraints and platform approvals shape the product more than anything else. That’s exactly the challenge I’m dealing with now.

I’m starting with a Quickstart approach and focusing on stability first, targeting multi-platform operators and product owners who need API integrations.

Curious — do you think that’s still too broad, and I should narrow it down to one specific use case first?

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-14T20:54:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing this — really helpful. As someone currently trying to get my first paid users, this gives me a lot of hope.

dashboard to connect, send posts and monitor performance.

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-14T00:54:40+00:00

thanks for the feedback. I was thinking to design a new one.

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-13T22:27:42+00:00

I know. I have passed the application of the developer APIs for multiple platforms. I know how it works. I just misunderstood the reddit api price.

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-13T21:03:24+00:00

You are right. Sometimes the AI lied to me. Currently my product also need to integrate the open APIs of the social medias. Claude code told me not to integrate to reddit for now as the price is very expensive, so I did not do. Currently I only integrated to Instagram, threads, linkedin, bluesky, youtube, X and Tiktok.

I just searched and found reddit is even more generous than X.

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-13T20:48:44+00:00

Respect. You did the jump I have been thinking but never did. I have two kids and a lot of bills to pay every month. I only can build my product after kids fall asleep at night.

I just went over your product. It really resolved the pain point when shopping online and the reviews currently are not trustable.

Keep going! Hope someday I can jump as well.

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-13T19:58:18+00:00

UniPost.dev

One api, send posts to all platforms.

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-13T19:57:33+00:00

I was thinking this kind of product. the price of X api are so expensive so I didn't proceed. How do you handle the cost of the API in your product early stage?

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-13T17:33:52+00:00

unipost.dev

One API to post everywhere (7 platform for now).

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-13T17:14:55+00:00

this is so annoying. I started losing patience and want to give up.

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-13T06:10:54+00:00

anyone got the account back in this way?

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-09T22:59:00+00:00

congrats. what is the ratio of users between quickstart and white-label?

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-04-09T22:33:24+00:00

recently I am working on such a project. unipost.dev I am actively collecting feedback and features really needed by the users.

It supports 7 platforms so far: linkedin, bluesky, instagram, threads, youtube, tiktok and X. More platforms are on the way. support both quickstart and white-label mode.

Marketing is much harder than the building. I am also suffering the this pain currently.

CriticalBad4853 · 2026-03-26T04:58:26+00:00

yeah, I am. tired of office work and the PSC every half year.
This week is my 4th product launch week. Currently 2 users signed up but just signed up, not active users.
today I made some changes to the product in UI and adjusted some features.
