I was drowning in distribution advice. So I built Diados: the tool that tells you exactly what to do next.
After months of hard work on my MVP, I hit the brutal wall of 'how do I get anyone to use this?' I tried everything: random Reddit posts, endless Twitter threads, cold DMs. It was a chaotic mess of conflicting advice and guesswork, leaving me frustrated and overwhelmed. I felt like I was constantly guessing my way to failure.
That's why I built Diados. It’s the distribution operating system I desperately needed. Diados removes the guesswork by showing you precisely what to do next to get your first users. It breaks down the entire user acquisition journey into clear, actionable steps, tailored to your product and stage. No more 'what now?' – just a single, most impactful task for the day.
Imagine: waking up and knowing your exact next step to acquire users, without having to sift through generic advice or feel overwhelmed. That's what Diados delivers. It’s designed for independent software developers and small startup teams who are technically proficient but struggle with the marketing fog.
I’m thrilled to share Diados with the Indie Hackers community today. Would love your honest feedback and for anyone feeling that 'distribution paralysis' to give it a try. Let’s stop guessing and start growing.
Waitlist is currently live for beta testers: www.diados.dev
There's a neat irony here: Diados is itself a distribution problem, not just a solution to one. Curious if you're eating your own dog food on that — are you actually following Diados's own "single most impactful task for the day" to get from waitlist to first paying beta users, or is that the one part of the funnel you haven't pointed the tool at yet?
The “what do I do next?” problem comes through clearly. I’m curious whether founders struggle more with choosing a channel or knowing which activity within a channel is actually worth doing.
