Currently launching our newsletter to help founders integrate powerful storytelling in their messaging & presentations. And thank you for doing this! 🙌🏼

Your promise not fulfilled

Hi @tavis! Thank you very much for doing this.

My brother and I have just launched our scalable cloud graph database SurrealDB in public open beta (completely free to use)! We've been working on this for a number of years, and are completely bootstrapped.

The first beta version supports a large amount of functionality, with the ability to run in a highly-available, highly-scalable distributed environment. A highly-performant query language enables use of many different data types, and embedded JavaScript functions can be used for more complex functions and triggers.

We wanted to create a database that people didn't have to manage, so they could focus on building applications, not the infrastructure. We wanted users to be able to use schema-less and schema-full data patterns effortlessly, a database to operate like a relational database (without the JOINs), but with the same functionality as the best document and graph databases. And with security and access permissions to be handled right within the database itself. We wanted users to be able to build modern real-time applications effortlessly - right from Chrome, Edge, or Safari. No more complicated backends.

My Nano-SaaS is Net-Tools.io

https://net-tools.io

It's a free web app to perform functions like DNS lookups, port checks port scans, IP Information gathering, hash generation, blacklist checks, subnet calculation and more..

It saves me some time in the infosec/net-sec space so I put it out there for the community; it's also good for those who are terminal/scripting averse..

Much appreciated Travis! 💪

Fantastic work, Travis!

I'm building https://www.migii.com.br, a way for Brazilian developers can find a job abroad through our No-BS approach to tech recruitment.

I'm using LinkedIn and my network to attract developers (I'm a teacher, so I know many developers). That has been working decently for now.

We are struggling to find companies that are willing to try the product.

Hi Tavis,

We are the first gaming studio to have successfully captured live-action footage of real-life pets and transformed it into an interactive mobile game.

Our in-house developed technology has resulted in a game that has evoked a sense of excitement and wonderment among players.

Through our mobile game, players get to interact with real-life pets, and witnessing their reactions has been an incredibly heartwarming experience.

Our game has a remarkable universal appeal for individuals of all ages who share a fondness for cats and dogs.

We invite you to look at the actual gameplay for yourself by checking out the trailer at https://youtu.be/-aJZxzMu8Ag and our latest gameplay update at https://youtu.be/S1HLmbksSAk.

Fruwee is a micro team comprising two individuals, and we are passionate about our project, which we believe has the potential to transcend the gaming industry.

Being a small team we are simultaneously working on delivering products for other companies, so we are in need of help in marketing our product.

As this is our first delivered end product, we do not have the experience nor the workforce to push marketing efforts as they should.

We are open to collaborating with an individual or a company that can provide marketing services in exchange for a revenue share model or a percentage of a contract in the case of a sponsorship deal.

Our product is already live with an above-industry-standard crash-free rate of 99.6%, and it has received excellent reviews and acceptance from our players.

Android:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fruwee.realpets&hl=en&gl=US

iOS:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/real-pets-by-fruwee/id1516231968

This is a unique opportunity to collaborate with a product that has global potential and mass appeal. As a micro team, we welcome the prospect of accepting new partners or coworkers as our business grows.

In addition to in-game ads and in-app purchases, we have created a sponsorship channel that we have not yet marketed. You can check out a short presentation on this at https://youtu.be/q0u3PCNQORI.

We have a registered trademark in multiple classes named "Fruwee" registered in Europe, the USA, and the UK.

If you have any questions or are interested in collaborating with us, please contact us at [email protected].

Hey Tavis, I'm working on https://flyingshiba.com and it is all about latest and best gaming accessories that gamers need which will take them to next level. I talk about the best gaming mouse, keyboards, headsets, and more. My goal is to increase the users and provide the best information to visitors that they want to read.

Hey Tavis,

https://apisec-inc.github.io/pentest/

I build a no-code, free, and instant API penetration testing tool for developers and early-stage startups.

Most young teams don't do any security testing of their API/Apps because they lack the skills, and hiring an external company can cost several thousand.

I did some blog posts on IH, HN, etc. So far got decent traction. I love your thoughts here on how to promote.

I appreciate any help you can provide!

Hey

I’m building a social platform that match professionals’ careers with their passion. We focus mostly on tech careers.

Right now, we do outreach in subreddits. Any advice would be helpful.

Hey Tavis,

I am building ShapeRoute, a fitness photo tracker application

The goal is to motivate others and ourselves to stay on the path of fitness by helping people to document their fitness progress and to generate videos of them.

The POC of the mobile app is released and is available in both Google and Apple store links at https://shaperoute.com/

Tavis, what do you think of the product/idea?

Please let me know if you have some ideas for spreading the app to more people.

Regards
Amal

Hey Tavis, thanks for this! Our startup is https://www.mycaltracker.com hope I’m not too late!

It's very kind of you to share your experience with us on concrete examples :).

I'm building an AI-powered travel guide at https://www.karambol.io. It works like a search engine and aims to provide relevant travel itineraries while matching one's travel preferences. Competition is very stiff for visibility. If you have any idea, let me know!

Hi Tavis!

I would love to know your thoughts about this startup: https://metaeditor.io

We don't have a sales yeat, but we have around 100 requests for integration. We should choose the right strategy and start to grow.

Thanks for your help

Hi Tavis.

Thanks for your effort in the community!

I would love to know your thoughts about this startup:
https://writing9.com

Thank you ahead of time!

Hello Tavis,

Thank you very much for your post. I currently have a company in the well being, we set up sports and massages in companies.
Also, we set up trainings around health prevention.
I have been doing Linkedin prospecting for a long time with little result saying to myself that I had no PMF. I decided to try SEO (for a month and I had two quotes) and SEA (two campaigns launched today and waiting for validation).

I am now looking for a consistent growth to finally accelerate.

https://teamupp.fr/ (the site is in French)

Thanks again for your help,
Have a good day

Thanks, Tavis! I’d love your thoughts on https://growthequityinterviewguide.com - it’s an online interview prep course I’m selling to finance people (and students) who want to make the jump to growth investing

I've recently launched https://everdesigns.co/, an unlimited ad creative subscription for Shopify brands. As of launch of last week I have 3 new subscribers. All through linkedIn.

Would love input on the website (its my first website design I did myself) and the concept idea. I have seen many with this concept but mostly for website design and only a handful for ad creative.

Feel free to let me know anything else you see could be improved.

Thanks in advance!

I'm building https://acrobox.io. It works great for me, I use it every day, but I haven't found traction on it yet. So far I've only shared a few times here on IH, some Slack groups, and a Show HN. I think the barrier to entry may be too high - having to sign up and pay before getting anything. But, I haven't received that as specific feedback.

Hi @tavis👋, I am building https://cronocloud.com ⏱️, a time-tracking app. This is a very competitive market, so I am interested in growth advice ;)

Late to the party :D

I'm working on metricsbeam.com, which helps users to connect their services and view them in a single dashboard. The goal is to remove the pain of logging in to multiple services to manage the business.

Http://www.levelfields.ai --> Automates investment research by alerting users to events proven to drive significant share price movements.

We're aiming to break downs barriers to investing by providing a system that rivals the power of a quantitative hedge fund to any investor for $4 a week. I guarantee it will pay for itself. We've soft launched the system and are gearing up for a full launch. Investors include execs from Citi, Cisco, Silicon Valley Bank, and the Center for Innovative Technology.

On a personal note, we built this because we got tired of seeing friends and family lose money following bad advice from CNBC, Fool-ish recommendations, neighbors, Reddit forums, and influencer scams. We're trying to fill the gap in technology between the institutions and individual investors and have put our blood, sweat, and tears into the platform to make this available for anyone.

Looking for people to join the project. Marketers, partners, are evangelists all welcome!

Hi Tavis, we are a team of individual (https://www.nftdropscalendar.io/) - Our aim is to help people know all about some of the best NFT Drops that are happening right now and give them all the details for the events. We also talk about everything related to the NFT space and some of the biggest events. Could really use your help if you can suggest some ideas as to how we can make it big or the things we should avoid.

Hey Tavis! Great that you're doing this!

We're building Plaan (https://plaanadventures.com) - travel planner for the day to help you find the answer to "what's the plan?" and get you out of the door within 5 minutes.

We're just doing our 2nd iteration and validating the new course with the contacts we obtained from version 1 (which is still accessible via our landing).

For growth up until now we've reached out to Facebook groups for the specific areas which we ourselves recently visited (to make the content more personal). We've also took part in subreddit conversations about upcoming travels.

Curious to hear your thoughts on this and thanks for taking the time!

Hi Tavis, I’m building Woody3.xyz, a job board for non-tech roles in Web3. My priority for the following months is to increase traffic, and then monetize. So far, I’ve worked on getting more backlinks (listing on job board directories etc), promoting actively on twitter, a bit on LinkedIn, launched a newsletter. I haven’t promoted on Reddit just yet. I’d love to read your advices on what I should prioritize! 😊

Hi Tavis this is great, I really need some feedback for my app. I'm building https://todoly.app - A to-do list app for mouseless person. No fancy UI. Manage your task using CLI

Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi there, we are building https://verktiger.io/ for digital professionals. Our toolbox helps them to work faster and with less effort.

Happy to hear your advice / recommendations

hey Tavis, we're building https://acreom.com - a powerful knowledge base and task management for developers. Would love to get your take on growth / marketing for devs. Thanks!

Hi, we certainly could use some advice! I co-founded https://writemore.io and take care of our marketing/growth. So far, we've done reddit posts, answer Quora q's weekly, maintain a twitter and instagram, and I post in any writing Facebook groups that will let me. We've run google ads very successfully (CPC ~$0.49) but are trying to avoid over using these.

Any advice would be super appreciated!

Hi, thanks for doing this.

I have built - https://getlaunchlist.com to create a waiting list for landing page

Hi Tavis,

Hi!! This is great. I am the CEO of Hackpack.io. Hackpack is a hyperactive community of engineers focused on studying for programming interviews. We currently put out content on linkedin, twitter, facebook, reddit, and then a few blogs. We also have a referral program but are looking for a more consistent growth strategy. Anything you have would be great! Thanks.

Hi 👋🏽

I am just in the process of building serverlessq.com and want to slow launch it from next week on 🙂

Happy for any advice!

Hi, thank you for this initiative!

I'm leading https://giglio-designs.com/ and we offer a unlimited designs service, but at a higher quality level (and consequently price point) compared to most competitors.

Any feedback or idea is welcome :)

Hi @tavis thanks for the initiative,

I am the founder of Remote 'n Active a content hub + service for modern team leaders which helps with actionable advice on remote team building.

I am doing SEO and sharing content on linkedin, where I have also done cold outreach (closed 1 client).

Thanks!

My startup - B2B SaaS Software https://skhokho.io

Currently, I am using content marketing, so most of my traffic is organic and direct. Cant really afford paid advertising for now.

I made https://piptrends.com for comparing python packages downloads and GitHub Statistics. I built it because Whenever I do research on which python package I need to use for a project I need to check multiple places to finalize it so thought of putting all those things in a single place. It’s inspired by npmtends.com

I want to get feedback on my site. Any suggestions on how to reach to the experts/users to get the feedback

Hey Tavis! I'm Serge, Head of E-commerce Projects at WeLoveNoCode. Within the company, I recently (a week ago) launched a new program for e-commerce founders: https://www.welovenocode.com/ecommerce. Before that, I was building an e-commerce startup myself, so it seems to me like such service would be super-valuable.

We've tried Google Ads (Search and Display), currently not doing too good. Preparing a ProductHunt launch this week, building up a community in advance.

If you have some ideas on how to reach e-commerce founders, that would be just awesome! Apart from Slack, Facebook, and Reddit communities, ofc.

Thanks a lot! Cheers!

I really like the idea – as a marketeer myself, I'd love to do something like this as well!

Out of curiosity:
What would you suggest to grow a new UX design and prototyping tool? (antetype.com)

Figma gained the largest market share there in the last few years and is generally hyped (and has lots of great resources to learn it + lots of advocates).
Our product focuses on more complex design projects (think: User interfaces for industrial machines, complex websites). It's also possible to build prototypes you really can interact with instead of mostly static or hacked-interactive prototypes like Figma does. On the other hand, on a basic feature level, Figma feels like it already has most of the option we offer to the target audience. So they are hesitant to even take a deeper look / install our app to test it.

Just launched www.wherenext.to - a content site, next phase e-commerce, no marketing to date. Target market would be employees of tech companies offering volunteer time off.

We're building a SaaS tool to help startups optimise their cash flow and growth by offering analytics, advice and growth funding. www.gini.co

I want to know how to think of a more long term strategy than just cold outreach.

👉🏻 Twitter (grew to 1.5K followers, approximately 20-30 new per day - it's the most active channel for Popsy to communicate everything with our users and provide value to the community through informational threads, giving away free stuff like website templates, our custom icons and illustrations, video tutorials, product updates, retweeting and engaging with others, etc.)

👉🏻 SEO (I realize this is one of the most important channels but it takes way more than 4 months to see results, however we've reached out to niche bloggers and creators, different communities (IndieHackers, Makerpad, NoCodeDevs, Reddit, etc.) and startup lists to put our name out there - we're also optimizing our page and so far Google has been our friend by ranking us higher and higher in "Notion website builders" space 😊)

👉🏻 Newsletter (this is a channel we managed to grew rapidly by sharing updates, tips and freebies related to Notion and website building experience, although we're restructuring it at the moment so there haven't been updates as of late - however, with a following near 5K users it's extremely powerful resource)

👉🏻 YouTube (although we're only at 119 subscribers, this channel is very important to us because we can communicate better through video tutorials and lots of helpful content for our users - in the future this is one of the channels we want to put most effort into)

👉🏻 Cold email (it's a powerful way of introducing your tool and it's worked for us to some extent, so it's definitely a channel we should continue using - however I think it's pointless until you really niche down your users and know exactly who you're talking to, otherwise it's just spammy and could backfire)

There are two more channels planned for the future which I think are as important as those listed above:
👉🏻 Product Hunt (launching your tool there exposes you to amazing community and users who are ready to give sincere feedback, so that's definitely on our roadmap)

👉🏻 Affiliate program (another channel which is working for lots of companies because it gives extra motivation for people to share your product around and earn money from it - this will target both written (blogs, Twitter, etc.) & video content (YouTube) and possibly extend our reach through Notion creators)

Thanks for taking your time, hopefully what I've listed so far helps anyone. I think it's very important that you build in public so your users know what's happening and feel more connected to you (the personal note), and also by being active and trying out new channels and things, and then seeing what works for you and narrowing down your focus.

Best,
Gal (Growth at Popsy)

https://rehost.in/ I built Simple CLI tool to deploy apps on VM instances. The website went live almost a month ago and had <15 users by posting on reddit and cold-emailing(direct emails and Twitter DMs). I'm struggling with getting more users to try it.
Eventually, I'm pushing it to be a platform for self-hosted apps(like cPanel.net or cloudron.io) with a powerful productivity toolset. Let me know if you have any advice to reaching out. This is my first market-ready version and I need feedback.

https://watchlimits.com/ - productivity browser extension to help you enjoy watching content online while helping you set and enforce limits.
Privacy centric, doesn't run on all sites, early stage still, will have a first-class youtube integration.

For growth I am trying to do reddit outreach on productivity related subreddits and also SEO with content blog, it's a lot of work!

Still in Beta / development, so no real marketing effort yet, but would like to know how you would monetise an instructional app like this:

https://www.tooltipr.com . Its a tool to organize your glossary/lexicon/acronyms in your company. Have not found any customers. I have tired two main strategies for now:

• Creating public glossaries: https://www.tooltipr.com/glossaries
• Creating glossaries for companies and cold emailing them: https://www.tooltipr.com/glossaries/velo-3d - I have done this for 3 companies so far. Not sure if it is worth it to keep going

Would love some advice on what you would do.

I'm looking to start mentoring people in web development and gamedev (using Godot). I found my first few students via codementor, but for this to be sustainable I'd need to find more long-term students who need help learning this stuff, and have the budget to afford it ($60-$80/hr).

How would you go about finding people like that?

The stuff I can teach:

• Full-stack webdev (React, Node, Next.js, etc).
• Gamedev with Godot.
• Fundamentals of programming.

My webdev portfolio: https://lumenwrites.dev/
My gamedev tutorials and projects: https://youtube.com/c/godotacademy

Currently all growth is through SEO. We are working hard on doing more offline marketing. Hoping to get in events, billboards, and more traditional advertising avenues.

Build https://pushtocreate.com Nocode website builder via Google drive. Finding it hard to aquire customers.

Recently started hacking on https://crafty.fourfifteen.studio! It’s a smart Figma plugin that can help designers write better UX copy in their designs! You can even select the tone you want (like “playful” or “formal”)

Just finished building a v0 for this and shared with a few designer friends. Would be curious how you’d grow this. :)

Hey Tavis, I made a gamified habits tracker to help people fight procrastination while having fun.

I'm writing a blog and growing a Twitter account (both habits-related).

The app already has some paying customers and I'd love to hear how you'd grow it ☺️

Currently developing a Quizlet competitor looking to combine Quizlet and Anki’s best parts to create the best study tool for a fraction of the price of Quizlet.

Quizlet have been removing features that everyone loves whilst increasing the price. Anki has a boring interface and hard to learn system.

In terms of current growth strategies, I’ve got in contact with lots of students. I’m planning on reaching out to unhappy QuizletPlus members (paying customers) to try a free demo of mine.

Hey Tavis-- what do you think of referral rewards and the web3 trend of play-to-earn/own/learn. Etc.

How might you apply those coin-powered tactics to two of my startups-- Cadoo and Airtm?

Cadoo is the most intense form of fitness motivation on the internet-- get fit, get paid.

Airtm-- everyone's dollar account.
