Idk if you do it, but a good way to start collecting future features could be to ask your early users.

The idea of making it a community is interesting, but you have to find a way to offer something developers really need, because it’s difficult to make people passionate about a new “social” in this era.

Idk what it could be, maybe a way to match devs using their skills? So anyone can follow the progress/projects of devs in the same stack?

Then you probably need something that catches attention quickly, like an interactive map with the locations of every dev. That’s something that has been working lately (world maps showing different things on them). I would love to be on there because I know that maybe someone will search for devs in their country and so on. Interactive ways to find something, that’s the idea.

Anyway, you look passionate about it, so the only advice I can give you is to keep focusing on it and try everything you think makes sense in the direction of growing your user base.

Good luck and keep going!

Yeah, I know that first you find a problem with people who suffer from it and then you build the product, but as I said this was my first attempt and I started right away because I already had an MVP requested by a friend who needed to track IG profiles for work (he’s a journalist).

I already have the book (it’s called “Partire Leggeri” in italian), I’ll move it up on my reading list right away. Thanks!

Thanks, then I think I’ll try to focus only on one niche, and since I already have a customer I’ll immediately try sending them an email to understand how they use it (and if I can improve the service from their perspective at no extra cost).

And then I think it makes sense to contact those who no longer use the service to ask why and get some feedback (they definitely signed up but didn’t find what they were expecting).
