Hey IH peeps 👋🏾
I've been building a side-project called Socials since November last year.
While I'm NOT a developer/coder by profession, I was able to hone my skills over the past 5 years and finally launch a paid tool by experimenting with different technologies. You can read more about the "why" here —
Though I've not had much success with growing the user base (so far 😉), I was able to understand what would matter the most with this tool and accordingly, figured I'd focus more on that.
This meant that I'd need help with the Growth aspects of this side-project and I'm hoping someone here would know someone who'd be interested in taking that journey with me 😇
You can DM me on Twitter, LinkedIn or even email me on [email protected]
.
This isn't a job post — I'd not be able to pay a salary 😅
This is however an invitation to parter-up! We can split profits & talk about equity in a way that's favourable for all. At the moment, my only interest here is to have this API reach some actual users.
PS. Socials is also available on Zapier!
Hey sourabh since you’ve onboarded me on Rows I’ve knew that I needed to be following you and your professional career.
If anyone doubts about Sourabh’a skillset don’t. He’s a truly dedicated and wonderful talent!
Hey Pedro 👋🏾 thanks so much for the kind words 😇
Perhaps you could look to SparkToro.com for inspiration. The founder, Rand Fishkin @randfish, is brilliant and was founder of Moz.com. There is even a podcast with an interview by Courtland Allen @csallen. Listen, I think you'll be inspired!

I wish you great success!
Amazing! You got it 💪🏽 Will do.
Blessings and success to you. Your skillset will achieve something great. That greatness will be amplified by your goodness.
Go get em and I'll be watching! I'm a fan!
I really like how you designed your front page. However, I'm not certain you've "got it" yet. As it sits, it's an interesting feature.
However, I believe that there is a vision that takes you further. The vision will carry you through to get the adoption you desire.
Perhaps you pivot to a marketing play. For example, you could enable a customer to "reach" all of the accounts associated with a website. For example, "send a post to every social account for the domain name you choose" where the customer names the website, creates a post, and then you use this existing capability to trigger the post to every social account associated with that domain name. The functionality you show currently would exist behind the scenes as the "magic" that happens behind the curtain.
Just thinking out-loud. Hope it is helpful...
Oh, absolutely! The more I’ve thought about the possibilities with the structured data, the more I’ve wanted to grow and curate the database itself.
Thanks for the input though and for checking out the tool 🙌🏽
Hi, can help you nail marketing and sales, won't take any equity. Regularly help technical founders kickstart their projects. Let's connect on Twitter.
The structured database tells me that this API could be used for much more than what it's used for now.
Would love to have a chat, to see where you're looking to take this project.

Well, I suppose the code/algo in itself doesn’t hold as much value but I do believe that the structured DB overall will.
We also can easily transform this into a lead generation/data enrichment tool too — example: if you wanted to look for brands that had certain verified social media presence 🤷🏽♀️

No worries at all 😅 I’m glad at least someone’s interested in sharing their 2 cents 🙌🏽
And I suppose it is somewhat of that sorts too. Independently, I don’t think the API can hold much value but I do believe there’s a need for folks to be able to lookup all the relevant social media accounts connected to a brand (perhaps via domain). I could be wrong too since no one’s specifically ever asked for it 😅 but I’d like to try a bit more before letting this project slide.
Not for nothing, I’ll at least end up having a big chunk of a database 😛
