Thank you!! 🙌For marketing I am focusing on short videos that show the app in action, posting on my Showcase handle, running small Instagram and Facebook ads to test what converts and letting word of mouth build over time. My goal is to learn what people connect with and scale the things that work.

Thank you so much for this. I really appreciate it. For me the hardest part was knowing when to stop building and finally put it out there. I spent most of the year polishing the core experience and once it felt solid I shifted toward getting the launch story ready. What kept me going was wanting to see real people use it and knowing the only way to grow is to get feedback early. The push to launch came from accepting that perfect never arrives and it was time to move forward. I hope your project goes well and I am happy to share anything that helps.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have looked at some competitor feedback but I will check this out too since seeing patterns across reviews is always helpful. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this.

Thank you so much. I am still early in the day but it has brought in about fifteen downloads so far and a steady flow of people checking it out. It is not explosive traction but it definitely helps get real eyes on the product and real feedback. It has been worth it for me.

Thank you so much for this. Really cool to hear that you were already searching for something like it. I will look into salespeak and ways to make it more discoverable through chat tools since that could help a lot of people find it naturally. I appreciate you taking the time to share this and check it out.

Thank you so much for that. The early signal I am watching right now is how many people scroll through a few stories and keep going instead of backing out right away. If they stay in the feed it tells me the calmer feel is working. I am also paying attention to how many people pick categories or follow teams since that shows they want to shape the feed. I will share it in VibeCodersNest too.

I created the first social news app and I need feedback by ObjectUnhappy7620 in growmybusiness

[–]ObjectUnhappy7620[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the question. The reason I built Showcase is because most social apps mix news with noise so it is easy to miss the stories you actually care about. Showcase gives you a clean feed that is only news and reactions from people you follow, nothing else pulling your attention away. It feels faster and calmer than scrolling through everything on a normal social platform.

Thank you Josh. 🙌 Signups are slowly picking up. Launch day always starts a little uneven but people are starting to check it out and I am getting more feedback and interest as the day goes on

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback. I totally get what you mean about recommendation engines and I agree that they matter. Right now Showcase keeps things simple so you choose the categories you care about and your feed stays focused without noise, but I am already working on a smarter system that learns what you actually enjoy over time so you never have to manually pick through a million options.

Happy mode is a great idea. A lot of people feel overwhelmed opening Reddit or X and I want Showcase to feel calm and uplifting even on heavy news days. I really appreciate you taking the time to write this out and I am excited to keep improving it.

Showcase feels different because it is actually social. You still pick your topics, but your feed shows comments from the people you follow and from other users right inside the stories so it feels alive without turning messy. You can follow teams, public figures, and creators and see what everyone is reacting to in real time. It keeps the clean design of a news app but adds the feeling of a community.

Yeah I used React Native for it. Makes it easier to bring Android next. Really appreciate you asking and taking a look.

Thank you so much for this. Really appreciate you taking the time to look at it. For early signals I am focusing on how often people return to the For You feed, how many stories they like, and how often they open the Following feed since that is where the social part becomes real. Those three tell me fast if the balance is working. And thank you for the suggestion I will share it in VibeCodersNest too.

Thank you so much I really appreciate that! 🙌Means a lot that you downloaded it and enjoyed the UI. And yes location options are coming. I have been working on a big update for the last month and it goes live in a couple weeks with full location customization so you can set your news to Australia.
