2 sales after launching a product that solves my problem first

I used to listen to Youtube music on browser and Spotify.

I feel like these 2 platforms distract me while I am working. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sometimes, I open them just to switch song and I waste a few minutes to watch a recommend Youtube video or browse through the Global TOP 50 song on Spotify.

So that's why I want to create a music menu bar app to eliminate distractions. ๐Ÿ’ช

Why SoundCloud?

Soundcloud says it has over 125 million songs on its platform

With Soundcloud, I can:

  • Listen to mixes style songs and undiscovered charming artists

  • Listen to cover and remix music

  • Listen to lo-fi producers and up-and-coming rappers

  • Listen to focus calm music: Baroque, piano

  • Listen to podcast show

But, most of SoundCloud Mac apps required login to listen.
I just like to paste a playlist url and then listen. No need to create account.

So I create the Soundbar app to fulfill my requirements first. If you feel like me, please give it a try.

After launching it 1 one day, I got 2 sales. What do you recommend to read/watch to get more like minded users?

    Result looks good. I have tried it with my project of sound bar system reviews that hosted on WordPress, you can see here http://systemsoundbar.com/

    You donโ€™t have to pay SoundCloud right? Just a thought.

    Iโ€™d identify who your early adopters would be. People who may have a preferred listening solution but still want to experiment.

    Forums dedicated to music may be a good first bet. But youโ€™ll be running up against people who do want to login and access their playlists.

    Youโ€™re probably going to have to do personal outreach to the kinds of people who put on long running playlists for background music. Doubt they like interruptions either.

      Thanks for the question @PickAndMix
      I think my early adopters are

      • people just want to listen a few playlists like me. I want to listen to baroque and piano music while working
      • people want to use a mac menu bar app for quickly control the song.

      I realize this group of user is so niche after the launch :D
