I spend at least one week trying to find first users or our upcoming product through cold DMs and self promotion, but it didn't work well. Here’s what I did wrong and what I learned from it.

1. As a newcomer on reddit, I did first comment actively on relevant topics like other suggested. But I am too eager to get noticed, so most of my commtents were just emotional suppot, not detaild or genuinely useful thoughts. I Iearned that useful comment matters much than just emotional support .
2. I also posted introductions of our product related to pain point and beta invitations, but almost one one saw it. What did i wrong ? I think it was maily a trust problem. There are lots of new products popping up every day. Why people try your products before konwing who you are and how you built the products.
   Also, I relied too much on AI to help my polish posts. I cared too much on perfection, while ingorning the genuine story and real thought. I think most people can feel it.
   So I learned that before gaining attention, we should build trust first. Share your thoughs detaily and genuinely. It 's important to konw how to tell a real story in the AI era.
3. I know that DMing those who have the paint point is more efficient than posting to a huge audience. So I started finding the targeted users in some related posts and trying to understand what they are compalning about in the first week. Then I send DMs inviting beta test or telling them that our product might help them . But no one replied to me. Maybe they thought it was spam.
   Then I realized maybe the order was wrong. Maybe trust should come fisrt. Before sending a DM, maybe I shoulds join the convetstation naturaly on their post or comment to build familarity and trust.
   Overall, I think trust is very very important in the cold start stage. It takes much more patience and time than I expected. Only have we built trust, people will listen to what we are building.

These are some reflections from past week. Maybe it sounds a bit stupid, but I hope it might be useful for other newcomers in the colde start stage.

Thanks for listening to my long story!
Have you experienced something similar? Happy to hear what worked (or failed) for you in the cold start stage.

Every time I need to buy a new phone, I spend weeks going down

  rabbit holes.                                

  YouTube reviews from channels sponsored by the brands they're

  reviewing. "Best phones of 2025" listicles that are clearly

  SEO-optimized garbage. Reddit threads where half the comments are

  from people who never owned the phone but have strong opinions

  anyway. Spec sheets that tell me nothing about what it actually

  feels like to use the thing day to day.

  I bought a phone last year based on all this research. Regretted it

  within a month.

  The thing that frustrated me most: there's no platform where ratings

   are tied to actual ownership. Anyone can review anything on Amazon,

   GSMArena, even Reddit. But if you don't own the phone, why does

  your opinion count?

  So I built RealRank. The app automatically detects your device, and

  you can only rate the phone you actually own. That's the whole

  gimmick — and also the whole point.

  

  It shows four rankings: most recommended, most regretted, best by

  use case (camera, battery, gaming, etc.), and upcoming phones people

   are excited about. All scores come exclusively from verified

  owners.                                    

  I'm a solo developer. This took way longer than I expected. I

  rewrote the matching algorithm three times because the device

  detection kept failing on certain Android skins. The "most

  regretted" list was my girlfriend's idea and honestly it might be

  the best feature.

  Now Google requires 12 testers for 14 days before I can publish to

  production. So here I am.

  If you have an Android phone and 30 seconds to spare, I'd genuinely

  appreciate it. You don't have to do anything beyond joining — though

   if you actually use it and have feedback, that would mean a lot.

  

  Drop a comment or DM me and I'll send you the test link.

  Thanks.

Hey friends,

We’re preparing a small closed beta for PhanRouter, an AI API gateway we’ve been building for developers and AI power users who are tired of managing multiple providers and API keys.

The idea is simple:
- One API key
- OpenAI-compatible API
- Access to models like GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Doubao, Seedream, Seedance, and more
-Unified dashboard for usage and routing

We originally built this because switching between providers, billing systems, and SDKs became pretty frustrating in our own workflows.

The product is still in the polishing stage, and we’re looking for a few early testers who are willing to try it out and share real feedback (bugs, UX issues, missing features, etc.).

We’ll also provide some free credits to beta testers.

If this sounds like something you might need, feel free to comment or DM me.

Happy to answer questions or hear any suggestions as well. Thanks!

I'm creating a fishing utility app and need some beta testers. Just trying to find a quick way to get this done on the Google store. Any help would be amazing and appreciated.

Hey r/NicotinePouches,

I've been a pouch user for a while and always felt like there was no real home for us online. Reviews seem to be scattered all over the place, word of mouth is everything for brands, and there's no good way to track what you've tried or find your next favorite.

So I built Pouchd! A nicotine pouch rating app. Rate pouches, see what the community thinks, discover new ones. That's the core of it.

We're in early beta right now and looking for real users to put it through its paces. Not looking for people to be nice about it, I just want to know what's broken, what's missing, and what actually works.

If that sounds like something you'd be into, drop a comment or DM me and I'll get you in.

Hi all,

I'm looking for 12 game testers for Android. The app is entirely free and doesn't require a login.

It's a game called Ring Rave, an arcade style game in which you have to upgrade your arsenal of power-ups to prevent being crushed by the enclosing walls.

If you are interested, please follow these two simple steps:

1. Join the google group: https://groups.google.com/g/ringrave
2. Download the alpha game version here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.piggybank.ringrave

Much appreciated!

If you have an app and need testers - I am happy to return the favour.

I write fantasy. At one point I had Scrivener open for drafts, Notion for lore, World Anvil for worldbuilding, and a Google Doc for the outline. Four tools. One story.

Every session started with 10 minutes of tab archaeology before I wrote a single word.

So I built InkForge. One place for drafts, chapters, characters, locations, lore, world maps, and writing sessions. Everything links together. You can build a character, tie them to a location, and jump straight into the chapter where they appear - without leaving the app.

It tracks your writing sessions too. WPM, words written, streaks, XP. Makes the habit feel like something worth protecting.

We're early. One user so far (me). But that person has an active project with chapters drafted and a worldbuilding doc already filling out.

I'm trying to get to 100 writers before I call it real traction.

Curious - how many tools are you currently using to manage a single fantasy project? And is the switching actually killing your momentum or have you figured out a system?

Hey everyone, I have been working on Creator Insights (creatorinsights.in) for a while now and we are at about 10 users at this point. It is a tool that lets you audit YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and X profiles, track trending topics, research keywords, and find creators from a database of 450 million plus profiles.

You can also paste any video link, get a transcript, and chat with an AI about the content or use it to write a new script in your style.

Most of what is in the tool is free. A handful of things are behind a paywall but you can get real use out of it without spending anything.

I am at the stage where I really need people to poke around and tell me what is confusing, what feels unnecessary, and what is missing. If you are a creator, marketer, or work with brands, I would love to hear from you specifically.

Drop a comment or send me a DM and I will set you up with access. Honest feedback only, please.

I initially started building this out because I got tired of losing track of the mountain of projects I have both around the house, and in the maker/hobby/DIY space.

I wanted a clean way to keep track of all of the stuff I had done, the documents associated with the projects, like datasheets, manuals, license documents, etc, and to track the inventory of stuff I had bought.

I found that I was always buying stuff I already had instead of knowing I had it, so I added an inventory system that I could use with my USB barcode scanner.

I also have a bunch of tools and things I wanted to keep track of, particularly a lath I am building, and all of the associated tooling.

I think I've got everything pretty polished and ready to go, but I haven't really been able to get anyone willing to dive into it and give feedback.

Any feedback, feature requests, or thoughts on pricing you could give would be invaluable.

I have a few features/improvements in the pipeline, but nothing I'm ready to really talk about yet because it will need a lot of debugging.

The site is here: https://projedex.com, and you can play around with an interactive demo by clicking "See how it works" without needing to sign up at all. That will spawn a demo account that is pre-populated with some demo projects, and you can try uploading documents, adding, deleting things, whatever you want.
