They are still treating us like smaller men and we're building our own solution

Hey Ladies!

I'm Victoria, the founder of Atunelle, a mobile app for women.

**The reason behind it...**

With all the crazy trends around us, the unrealistic body images, the stupid diets—and on the other hand, the urge and need to make better choices for our health and build a better lifestyle. But we have careers, families, kids.

Basically, with all that and all the options we have, commercial applications that we have to pay the pink tax for, or applications that treat us like small men. And don't let me start with the big gap in science—there are still things not studied well, but they don't care. We need to deal with ourselves, so we deal all our lives with whatever happens and the changes, and sometimes we don't know if this is normal or if we need to see a doctor.

And then there's this: Just when we think we finally understand our bodies, we enter a new phase. Pregnancy. Postpartum. Premenopause. Menopause. And with each one, everything changes. Your body reacts differently. What worked last year doesn't work now. And it's different from woman to woman. So how do we expect generic advice to work for us?

Did I implement all that? Fixed all the problems? No.

I'm a data scientist. I'm not specialized in fitness, but I believe in data. I believe in patterns. And seeing the patterns sometimes is part of the solution.

I don't think with all we do, we have time to collect information from multiple apps and work on it all. So I'm working on a way to make it easier for women to find their patterns and understand their bodies with love and appreciation for our miracles makers.

Until now I wasn't able to implement all of this because I'm working on this project solo beside my full-time job—it's all in my head.

This is why I want to connect with female founder friends to talk about and discuss what we're working on, get support, and give that support.

**Would you be interested in a WhatsApp group or Discord?**

Female Founders Getting Their First Users — Let’s Connect 👋

Female Founders Getting Their First Users — Let’s Connect 👋

Hey everyone!

I’m a female founder getting ready to launch my first product — a mobile app built for women — and I’m currently at that exciting but slightly terrifying stage of trying to get my first real users. 😅

I’m sure I’m not the only one here constantly experimenting, researching, trying different ideas, and wondering, “Okay… how do I actually get people to use this?” 😂

I’d love to connect with other female founders who are in a similar stage.

Instead of trying to figure everything out alone, I thought it could be helpful to create a small group where we can support each other and share what we’re learning.

We could talk about:

  • What’s actually working to get those first users
  • Launch strategies and experiments
  • Feedback on each other’s products
  • Marketing and growth ideas
  • Useful tools and resources
  • Wins, failures, and lessons learned
  • Accountability and motivation when things get frustrating

No gurus, no “10,000 users in 7 days” promises 😂 — just female founders figuring things out together and being honest about what works and what doesn’t.

I created an account on Launchpad, but I haven’t found a great way there to actually connect and have ongoing conversations with other founders.

So, if you’re also in the “trying to get my first users” stage, I’d love to connect!

Feel free to comment below or join us on Discord:
https://discord.gg/7vCckMKUy

I can create a whatsapp group if you prefere so just let me know

Would love to build a small, supportive group of women founders who are figuring this stage out together. ❤️

Founders in the “Getting First Users” Stage — Let’s Connect

Hey everyone!

I’m a founder preparing to launch my first product — a mobile app for women — and I’m currently in that exciting (and slightly terrifying 😅) stage of trying to find my first real users.

I’m guessing I’m not the only one here constantly searching, experimenting, and sniffing out every little piece of information that might help get those first users! 😂

I created an account on Launchpad, but unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a good way for founders to actually chat and support each other there.

So I’m wondering:

Would anyone here be interested in creating a small group for founders who are at the same stage?

We could share:

  • What’s actually working to get our first users
  • Launch ideas and experiments
  • Feedback on each other’s products
  • Useful resources we discover
  • Wins, failures, and lessons learned
  • Accountability and a little motivation when things get frustrating

No gurus or “10,000 users in 7 days” stuff 😂 — just founders figuring it out together and sharing what we learn along the way.

If you’re interested, comment below with the platform you’d prefer (Discord, WhatsApp, Slack, etc.), and we can choose the best option and create the group.

Who’s in? 👇

Has anyone here tried Indie App Santa🎅 ?

I’m looking into it as a way to promote a mobile app and would love to hear from people who have actually used it.

Was it worth it? Did you get meaningful downloads/users, or was the impact pretty limited?

And if you’ve tried Indie App Santa (or similar platforms), \*\*what would you recommend for getting an indie app in front of the right audience?

Would love to hear about your experience — especially from other indie founders/app developers.

Ps I have a full time job so I don't have much time to do the work my self and I don't have a big budget I want something to pay once and from the app income I pay for the other marketing strategies and campaigns so I am relying on a good start here 😅

Thanks!

Founders, I’d love to hear about your launch experience. 🚀

How did you actually launch your product?

Did you do a big launch, a small invite-only beta, a Product Hunt launch, a marketing campaign, or something completely different?

I’m especially curious about what you did to create that initial momentum and how you decided, “Okay, it’s time to say we’ve officially launched.”

For those who’ve been through it:

What worked really well?

What didn’t work?

What would you do differently if you could launch again?

What are the biggest dos and don’ts you’d give a first-time founder?

And how did you get your first users?

I’d love to hear the honest, behind-the-scenes version—not just the polished launch story. 😄

Cheers!

Trying my new fitness app - looking for feedback"

Hey! I'm building a fitness app for women (Atunelle) and I'm looking for women to try it and let me know what they think.

https://atunelle.com/

I want to hear from women at any point in their fitness journey - whether you're just starting, getting back into it after a break, juggling fitness with motherhood, or you've been at it for years. Basically, anyone who cares about staying healthy and having a good relationship with their body.

I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on the app. Shouldn't take more than like 10-15 minutes of your time to try it out and tell me what's working and what's not.

If you're interested, just download the app and you get a free week - no credit card needed. Super simple!

Thanks for helping me make this better :)

Solo Founder Marketing a Women's Mobile App on a Shoestring Budget—Where Do I Even Start?

Hi everyone! I'm a solo founder working on a mobile app for women and I'm completely overwhelmed by the marketing side of things.

The situation:

Virtually no marketing budget (maybe $100-500/month to start)

Very limited time—I'm already swamped with product development, and I can't spend hours every day creating/editing content

No prior marketing experience

Need to get some initial traction to validate the idea and eventually attract users/investors

My biggest pain points:

I don't know where to focus my limited time and money

Creating polished content feels overwhelming (editing videos, design, copywriting, etc.)

I'm not sure if I should be on TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube, or somewhere else entirely

Should I spend time on organic growth or paid ads? Both seem like they need constant attention

What I'm hoping to learn:

Where should a solo founder realistically focus first?

What marketing channels give the best ROI when you have minimal budget and time?

Are there any quick wins or low-effort tactics I'm missing?

Should I outsource anything, or is that unrealistic on my budget?

How much time should I realistically dedicate to marketing per week?

Any advice, resources, or real experiences you can share would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I spent a year building a cycle-based fitness & nutrition app for busy women — looking for real women to test it and tell me what sucks

Hey everyone 👋

I've been working on this project for a long time and I want to share why.

I kept hearing the same thing from women around me, over and over:

"I start strong, I'm doing great... then I get overwhelmed and lose it all for a bar of chocolate after a long day."

"I was doing fine until my period hit, and now I'm back to square one. Again."

"I'm too busy. These plans expect me to have two free hours and a kitchen full of prepped meals."

And honestly? Most fitness and diet apps out there are built like one-size-fits-all machines. They don't care that your energy crashes in your luteal phase, or that your body literally needs different things at different points in your cycle. They just yell at you to stay consistent — and then you feel like a failure when biology does what biology does.

As a woman in tech who's been through the same cycle of starting strong and falling off, I built this because I was tired of apps that didn't get it.

So I built Atunelle.

It's a cycle-based health and fitness app that works with your hormones, not against them. The idea is simple:

  • Your nutrition and movement adapt to where you are in your cycle
  • Everything is backed by science, not trends
  • Small, realistic steps instead of overwhelming overhauls
  • It's meant to feel like a supportive companion, not a drill sergeant

I didn't build this to be another app that makes you feel bad. I built it because I think busy women deserve something that actually respects how their bodies work.

Now I need your help.

The app is ready for real people to use, and I need honest feedback from real women. What do you love? What's confusing? What's missing? What made you roll your eyes? I genuinely want to hear all of it — your opinion is incredibly valuable to me right now.

🔗 You can check it out and find download links for both iOS and Android here:Atunelle.com

I'm giving free access to early testers — no catch, no credit card, nothing weird. I just need your real thoughts.

Drop a comment or DM me if you have any questions. I'll be here answering everything.

Thank you ❤️
