Solo dev reality:

Building a feature: a weekend.
Getting 100 people to see it: a month.

Distribution is the actual product. Nobody tells you that when you start.

What's worked best for getting your first users?

@CobaltHere It’s trying to help users getting of GLP-1s keep the weight off

Quick question for the founders and builders here:
What’s your biggest bottleneck right now?
A) Finding the right problem
B) Building fast enough
C) Marketing / Distribution
D) Staying consistent
For me, it’s definitely C. Curious where everyone else is stuck.
