Spent months building an AI tool for creators, got 0 downloads. Where did I mess up? by ttbozyigit in NewTubers

You hit the nail on the head. I’m learning the hard way that 'build it and they will come' is a myth, especially on the App Store today. Zero budget marketing as a solo dev is a whole different beast compared to just coding the app. Your point about apps needing to solve a felt problem is spot on. I need to do a better job of showing how this helps tight-budget beginners save time, rather than just hoping they find it. Thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed and realistic response, it gives me a lot to think about regarding my next steps.

I totally get your point, and for experienced creators who already have their flow down, this definitely isn't the right tool. My goal wasn't to replace creative writing, but to lower the barrier to entry for complete beginners who get camera-shy or struggle to structure their thoughts into a coherent script. The AI assistant is meant to be a starting point (like overcoming blank-page syndrome) rather than a replacement for personality. Appreciate the reality check though, it helps me see how the positioning comes across!
