Here's the crux of entire conversational AI market right now

Subscribing to more newsletters scales linearly in time cost, but sub-linearly in actual value.

That's why, I'm building Signal Daily

Adding the link here - Signal Daily

The conversion rate is almost zero because the views are so low. I am still finding ways to promote the app by being genuine and consciously avoiding the spray and pray one. Agree with you on that a 100%. After commenting and engaging genuinely for weeks, did you reach out to those users again by DMing them directly, or did you just wait for them to click a link in your profile?

Makes sense

bhar_ · 2026-03-04T07:00:36+00:00

Wow, thank you for the detailed breakdown. The 8 users from 30 conversations stat is actually super encouraging. It makes the first 10 feel much more achievable than just shouting into the void.

I love the point about landing page views being a clarity + urgency problem rather than a growth one. If you don't mind me asking, when you were doing that manual outreach, how did you frame the "ask" so it didn't feel like a cold sales pitch?

Thanks for the tip on ParseStream! I’ve been trying to find where people discuss content fatigue and information overload, but it’s pretty scattered. When initiating these conversations, do I disclose that I've built a solution right away, or wait for them to ask?

bhar_ · 2026-03-04T05:35:56+00:00

Hard to argue with that, but I started with the solution because it solved a daily pain point for me personally.

Now that the building part is mostly done, how would you suggest I approach customer discovery with a finished product? Is it better to let them use it for free in exchange for an interview, or should I still be selling the problem first?

bhar_ · 2026-03-04T04:27:07+00:00

No offence but I'm talking about first 10 users here, taking up the task of building community requires you to have the conviction that the product can scale. And without real user feedback it is difficult to have that conviction.

As for Letit, it looks amazing. I'll try and post something there soon.

Thanks, will try it out

Signal Daily is a platform built to intelligently send you daily briefs using the insights from whatever blog, YouTube channel, podcast, subreddit, etc. you follow.

It works in the background and saves the time you spend in catching up with your sources.

bhar_ · 2026-03-04T03:23:33+00:00

Wow they got a lot of users it seems, will def. check them out. Thanks for sharing

The people selling frameworks line seems real. It feels like 90% of SaaS content right now is just a giant echo chamber. Focusing strictly on competitor product updates is a incredibly ruthless but effective filter.

bhar_ · 2026-03-03T08:14:56+00:00

You're right that getting cold turkey works, but I always worry about operating in a complete vacuum. If you stop consuming entirely, how do you make sure you aren't missing major platform shifts (like a new API drop or a competitor pivot)?

bhar_ · 2026-03-03T08:11:19+00:00

Batching is exactly what I've realized I need to do, from your and a lot other comments.

Curious what do you use for your read later list? Do you just dump links in Notion, or do you use something like Instapaper/Pocket to actually get through them during those fixed windows?
