Built my first app (HabitSnap) — how did you get your first testers?

Hey Indie Hackers 👋
First time posting here — and first time publishing an app.

I’m building HabitSnap, a simple habit accountability app based on one idea:
instead of just checking off habits, you post a daily photo as proof.

Think Snapchat-style accountability, but around habits like:

• going to the gym
• daily walks
• reading

Progress so far

• Core app is working
• Users can join challenges
• Daily photo posting is live
• Basic streaks & challenge flow are in place

Right now it’s still very MVP-ish, but usable.

What I’m struggling with

Getting early users for testing.
Not growth, not scale - just real people who’ll actually try it and give honest feedback.

I don’t have an audience yet, so I’m trying to figure out:

Where do you usually find first testers? What worked for you when you launched your first app? Is Indie Hackers a good place for this stage?

If anyone here likes habit-building or accountability experiments and wants to try it out, I’d really appreciate it 🙏
Happy to return the favor and test your product too.

Thanks for reading - excited (and a bit nervous) to finally put something out there.
