Show HN: FirstUser trying to give 4 guaranteed reviews for each product

[sgraphics8]

Hei,

I launched FirstUser app: the idea is that if you want to get feedback (reviews, constructive criticism) for your app, then you first must give feedback on other products. You then earn Karma and can spend it to receive feedback.

Since last week there have been 20 launches and 80 reviews. That’s 4 reviews for each launch on average!

Let me know what you think!

The whole "developers developing development tools for developers to develop development tools for developers to..." ouroboros is exhausting.

Fair point - feedback should mainly come from real customers. But with so many AI-built and solo projects, most launches never reach that audience and just sink. it isn't meant to replace customer input but give makers a baseline of thoughtful peer reviews so they can iterate instead of getting demotivated by silence.

Isn't that better than just a registry (PH, Uneed and 100 others) that takes money and does very little?
