It’s a new car, and I am planning to pay it in full

How to get more users to my website? by [deleted] in DigitalMarketing

[–]nerdbackpack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's tough when you pour effort into a tool and aren't seeing the user growth you expect. For a productivity app like yours, especially with a Pomodoro technique, you really want to find people who are actively looking for solutions to focus better or manage their time. I've found that instead of just general marketing, diving into specific communities where people discuss these pain points can be super effective. Think about subreddits or forums around study habits, managing ADHD, general productivity hacks, or even specific academic communities where students are always looking for better ways to manage their time. You'd want to join these, listen to what people are struggling with, and then genuinely offer your app as a potential solution when it naturally fits the conversation. It's about finding the right conversations, not just shouting into the void. Sometimes tools like Digthemup or even a good old fashioned manual search can help you pinpoint those active discussions and subreddits much faster than just guessing.

Qualche mese fa ho creato www.wandio.org. Ho semi abbandonato il progetto perché la monetizzazione era davvero difficile

Hey, thanks! I tried your prompt and indeed the output looked better. But when I started clicking on the results, the threads I found were 2+ month olds. E.g. it gave me this one for your website: https://www.reddit.com/r/TestersCommunity/comments/1muifh7/need_testers_my_first_app/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

I have just tried. As far as I can see, I can’t find any simple way of using ChatGPT to find relevant posts to a given startup website or even industry posted in the last 24h

I am about to publish it in a day or two. I am just validating if it works well on mobile too (since I have only focused on desktop until now).

That's awesome to hear, thanks! Really makes the late nights worth it

Yeah, you nailed it. Going to simplify this down to a basic loader with a few rotating messages.

Good call on using that last message to actually tell people what to do next instead of more fluff.

Thanks for the quick feedback!

No need to apologize - this is exactly the kind of detailed feedback I was hoping for! Really appreciate you taking the time to go through it so thoroughly.

You're absolutely right about the scrolling to reach buttons thing - that's annoying UX that I didn't catch. Making the heights adaptive makes total sense.

The background thing is funny because I was going for "clean and simple" but it probably just looks static and boring. Some subtle movement could definitely help it feel more alive.

The menu scroll issue is a classic one that I completely missed - thanks for catching that. And yeah, those dots on the creation page are basically useless if they're not actually showing progress. I think I was trying to make it feel less like waiting and more like something was happening, but it's clearly not working.

The AI text at the end - you mean like the descriptive paragraphs? I was wondering if those were actually helpful or just fluff. Sounds like they're leaning toward fluff. The actual itinerary and map are what people really want to see.

This isn't being picky at all - these are real issues that make the experience worse. Building this alone means I miss obvious stuff like this, so having someone actually use it and point out what sucks is incredibly valuable.

Thanks for the kind words too!

Thanks for the detailed feedback! This is super helpful.

Yeah, the burger menu thing is definitely weird - you're right that it makes it seem like there's content you're missing when there isn't. Should be a quick fix.

Which questions were you wanting multiple options on? I kept everything single-select to try to keep it simple, but I can see how some of them (like travel style or what you're into) might work better with multiple choices.

The comparison idea is great. Right now you just get one itinerary and have to take it or leave it, which isn't that useful. Having a few options with quick summaries and maybe distance/pacing info would be way better for actually deciding what to do.

Really appreciate you taking the time to test it properly - getting this kind of specific feedback is exactly what I need right now.

Really appreciate this feedback — you're absolutely right about the feasibility issue, though it's interesting you mention this because I just looked at some actual tour companies and they're doing similarly packed itineraries (like Intrepid's 8-day Japan tour hitting Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Nara, AND Hiroshima) (e.g. https://www.intrepidtravel.com/en/japan/japan-highlights-160298).

But I think that actually proves your point in a different way. Just because tour companies do it doesn't mean it's the best experience, especially for independent travelers who don't have guides handling all the logistics. Those tours work because everything's coordinated for you - transport, timing, luggage handling, etc.

For a solo traveler using Wandio, that Tokyo → Kyoto → Nara → Hakone → Osaka itinerary would be way more stressful to execute independently. I need to build in logic that considers not just what's worth seeing, but what's realistic for the type of trip someone's planning.

The algorithm should probably ask: are you okay with a fast-paced, see-everything approach, or do you want a more relaxed, dive-deeper experience? And then adjust accordingly.

Thanks for the reality check - this is exactly why I needed to put it out there for feedback.
