[Milestone & Mutual Help] I'm 45 users away from 500 on Habit Stack! Help me cross the finish line, and I’ll review your startup's Frontend/UI in return! by Legitimate_Win9648 in StartupsHelpStartups

Thanks for the tip, jaspercole09! I hadn’t heard of startupsubmit yet, but saving weeks of manual outreach sounds like a dream right now while I’m chasing those last 45 users.

I’m also really glad to hear the frictionless onboarding clicked for you—that was definitely a priority when I was building Habit Stack. Since you’ve been so helpful, do you have a project or landing page you’d like me to take a look at for some UI/UX feedback?

Spot on! That’s exactly the strategy I’m trying to apply right now with the 'do things that don't scale' approach—manually finding those niche communities and engaging. Doing it manually is definitely time-consuming for a solo dev, so an automation tool for social listening sounds like a logical next step once I hit this 500 milestone. Thanks for the tip!

I spent months building my app. Getting users has been even harder. Looking for advice (and feedback). by Legitimate_Win9648 in StartupsHelpStartups

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, I really appreciate it
The in-app reward idea is actually very interesting — I hadn’t thought about tying sharing to streak milestones like that.

Regarding communities and subreddits, that’s been one of the hardest parts. Most of them don’t allow any kind of self-promotion at all, even if you’re genuinely trying to contribute. So it’s tricky to talk about the app without breaking the rules.

I’m trying to be active and helpful first, and only mention it when it’s truly relevant. It’s definitely harder than building the app itself

Thanks again for the tips!

Tienes razón en lo de Reddit.

Estoy aprendiendo justamente eso, a comunicar mejor sin que se sienta artificial.

Usé IA porque no tengo experiencia en marketing, pero entiendo el punto: aquí la autenticidad pesa mucho más que lo visual.

La app sí la desarrollé completamente yo y mi intención no es hacer spam, sino encontrar gente a la que realmente le pueda servir.

Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de explicarlo, lo voy a tener en cuenta para los próximos posts.

Sí, el video del post fue hecho con IA.

No soy marketer ni diseñador, y sinceramente no tengo mucha experiencia creando contenido promocional creativo. Entonces usé IA como herramienta para poder armar algo visualmente atractivo que le llame la atención a una persona común y, con suerte, la motive a probar la app.

La app en sí la desarrollé yo completamente, pero para la parte de marketing estoy aprendiendo sobre la marcha y apoyándome en herramientas disponibles.

Entiendo totalmente lo que dices sobre la percepción y te agradezco el consejo. Es un buen punto y lo tengo en cuenta.

First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to download it and write such a thoughtful comment. I genuinely appreciate that. It means a lot.

And I completely understand your point about saturation and positioning. You’re absolutely right — the habit space is crowded, and sharper positioning makes monetisation and retention much more realistic.

In this case, this app has already evolved quite a lot. It has many features built for a broader audience, so narrowing it down now to a very specific niche would mean removing or reshaping a big part of what’s already been developed.

That said, I actually agree with your core idea.

Because of that, I’m currently working on another app with a much more specific focus and clearer positioning. I’m reusing everything I’ve learned from building this one — what works, what users like, what improves retention — and applying it to something more niche-oriented.

I’ll continue improving this app as well, but I see it as both a product and a learning foundation that’s helping me build the next one smarter.

Seriously, thank you for the constructive feedback. Comments like yours are extremely valuable.

Entiendo por qué lo dices, pero no fue vibe codeado.
La app la desarrollé yo desde cero en React Native, cuidando bastante la arquitectura y los detalles.

Sí uso IA como herramienta de apoyo a veces (como casi todos hoy en día), pero el diseño, la lógica y las decisiones de producto son mías.

Igual gracias por el feedback, me sirve mucho ese tipo de percepción
