finished my landing page, now what?
http://www.devducky.com
I am trying to validate my idea, DevDucky, an AI tool that helps your developers understand the company code
Because building such a product can take a lot of time, I wanted to validate that companies will actually buy such a product by making a landing page -and getting signups, or even a first design partner so I can know what to build for the MVP.
How can I get traffic to my website, and actually look viable enough for the people I target (R&D managers) so they would like to be a design partner?
in addition, I would appreciate feedback about the landing page and the product itself.
Thanks
p.s
here is the landing page:
www.devducky.com
You can, for example, set up a simple Google Ads campaign with a very small budget (say $100). Then, target it towards your niche and see if anybody will sign up for your service.
This $100 might be way less, than the amount of time you would put in building the product, as you have noticed.
I will do that, thanks!
Who in an organization would implement this into their daily process? Are developers in organizations your primary target or could it be someone flying solo?
Have you tried to put this in front of the HAckeNews crew?
Start by possibly reaching out on Twitter to devs. ALso Try Makerlog
Remember there is no one good answer to getting traffic and signups just brute force your way to a few signups by poking and prodding different communities then double down on that technique. Find out where they're living online. Thats tour first task. Possibly help someone out for free without them knowing with your product.
IF you want i have a community on slack dedicated to this type of thinking and evolving ideas for makers. Hope this helps you get the gears going.

I am currently aiming at developers in an organization.
I didn't put it in front of HN, it is only a landing page, without a working app. is it ok to still post it there?
the Slack community sounds cool, I would love to join it.
Thanks!
Heres some insight from a talented guy in the community:
"If he means like having new coders learn the teams core libraries and such I think the market would be hard. Because intellisense and documentation
If it's something to point at third party code to tell you what it does... I mean that would be possible functionality to build, I could see use case for free lancers who are tasked with upgrading someone elses code with a new feature..."
"I could see maybe selling it as a tool to validate that your code flows as you expect...
In some industries, say financial, dev teams normally have to get their code reviewed / certified by a third party."
"This tool could be a service or app that does a good portion of that review but would probably take a very long time to build / train"
"Maybe as an advanced performance profiler?"
Devs in organizations: I might have a guy you can talk to over on my slack. Ill see if hes up for a chat.
HN is would be a great start. Just speak to your audience. Mostly MAle Devs. Talk about your product but also your interesting findings and unique approaches. start a convo rather than a crumby plug.
sign up whenever you want, you'll get an invite via email. we're about 150 scrappy, friendly devs and marketers. feel free to plug your product and get involved, ill make sure to intro you and you. You also might get some feedback from the devs over there as well.
