User insights without breaking the bank

Hi all!

And so I created Feedback Swap to help Makers talk to their target market without breaking the bank. The goal is to help makers build better products by understanding what their customers want. Check it out:

Story
I Spent months building a product and no one used it :( After some research I discovered I should have talked to customers first to avoid building something nobody wanted.

For my next business idea I tried talking to customers first but I struggled to find them and it was mentally and physically draining to go out and talk to people to validate the problem. I also checked out User Testing but they charge $50 per review which is insane....
