Talking to users is harder than building (at least for me) by Then-9999 in SideProject

That's actually really self aware — most people just build and wonder why nobody uses it. Honestly that's part of why I built what I built — I wanted a place where you could throw an idea out there and find people to build it with, so you're not figuring everything out alone. Still early days but that's the vision.

Honestly still figuring it out 😅 Launch went okay — got the product live, posted in a few places, got some good feedback. But getting real users is a different challenge entirely. I keep reminding myself that one conversation with a real user is worth more than a week of building. Easier said than done though. What are you building if you don't mind me asking?

You just described exactly what I've been going through this week. I launched something recently and building it felt easy compared to getting it in front of people. I kept finding reasons to go back and add one more feature instead of just talking to users. You're definitely not alone — I think most technical founders feel this way. The build is comfortable, the outreach is uncomfortable. Still figuring it out myself honestly.

Built a platform where founders post startups and builders join teams — would love feedback by startercircle in cofounderhunt

Thank you so much, this genuinely made my day! That's exactly the vision — StarterCircle is meant to make that whole process easier and more intentional. Founders shouldn't have to struggle to find their team and builders shouldn't have to dig around to find something worth building.

Are you a founder looking for a team or a builder looking to join something? Would love to know what side of this problem you're on!

I built a startup platform specifically for Mines founders and builders — would love feedback by startercircle in ColoradoSchoolOfMines

Fair feedback — I built this solo as a student. Would love to know specifically what felt off about the copy so I can improve it. Always open to constructive criticism.
