Linktree for music curators - Certified.fm update!

Been a minute, but here's an update.

Catch Up: I started a link-tree for music creators in Certified.fm that focuses on sharing spotify playlists. I hated all the auto-generated stuff spotify creates, and had some nostalgia for the old TRL days where people curated music they loved.

So I'm bringing it back.

I recently finished implementing a WYSIWYG editor that lets users resize the playlist blocks in a grid. It was really cool to implement and test. I wanted to give people the option to emphasize certain playlists with size, and rearrange based on what they wanted to show off.

But this feels like one of those feature traps. I thought it would be cool, so I did it. I probably could have simply kept the "featured" flag that keeps certain playlists tagged to the top, but damned if this isn't more fun.

I got a few more users and some random comments here and there, but no major traction yet. I also started sharing stuff on TikTok which is so far beyond my comfort level. Every time I open that app, I have to tell myself, "If 1,000s of people see this, it's because its resonating. If it sucks, no one will see it, so what's it matter?"

Either way. It's no lie that distribution is the real struggle. Especially with all the AI coding tools. Finding a problem, solving it in a way that makes sense, and then getting it in front of those people is super tough.

What's been the best way to find those first user champions?
