How do you manage reviews + follow-ups without losing steam?

Hi,

So I’ve been working on a side project and one challenge keeps popping up: getting early users asking them for feedback or reviews and then actually keeping in touch long enough to convert them.

I’ve tried:

• Sending personal follow-up emails
• Setting up a Trello board to remind myself who to ping
• Playing around with Zapier automation
• Each one sort of works, but honestly I end up dropping balls once the coding takes over.

What do you do to not lose momentum after someone signs up for your project? Any lightweight systems you’d recommend?
