Live product, zero revenue. What got you your first paying users?

I shipped EdgeDigest about a month ago. It takes the newsletters, blogs, and feeds you'd normally check ten times a day and turns them into one short daily digest. I built it because my own reading habit was a mess and I figured other people had the same problem.

Here's the honest part. It's live, it works, and revenue is sitting at zero. A handful of signups, mostly friends, nobody I don't personally know. I've posted in a couple of places, tweeted into the void, done the usual launch checklist stuff. Nothing stuck.

So I'd rather skip the polite feedback loop. If you've gotten a product past its first ten real users, what actually worked for you? Cold outreach, SEO, hanging around communities, something weirder? I keep reading the same recycled advice and I'd love to hear what happened in practice, including the stuff that flopped.

And if you look at what I made and think the idea itself is the problem, say that too. I'd genuinely rather hear it now than in six months.

Anyway, if you want to poke at it, it's here: https://edge-digest.vercel.app?utm_source=indiehackers&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=edgedigest_202607
