From 0 to 265 organic users in 48 hours. What should I do next?

Build In Public

Hello everyone!

I posted about my Macbook teleprompter app 2 days ago here and also in some other forums.

It is a tiny free Mac app that puts your script right under your camera so you can read and still look like you’re making real eye contact on video.

To my surprise 265 people actually downloaded it in the first 48 hours after I wrote about it. I am very much surprised and can’t really express this feeling.

This feeling is surreal.

Received 3 thank you emails as well from the users and that really made my day!

A tool that I built for myself would receive such a

great response in such short time from other people as well really made me go nuts haha!

I didn’t validate this idea with surveys. I was just tired of recording 23 takes. Turns out if a problem annoys you enough, it probably annoys others too. And the existing solutions were either pricey or laggy.

I haven’t monetised it yet and don’t plan to as well anytime soon. But I do wanna increase the user base.

I have nearly zero knowledge about marketing tools like this so please do advise me regarding what should I do next.

Not much interested in paid marketing.

Any suggestions regarding this will be very much helpful for Notchy

Should I build more features that I think would be interesting to have?

What should I focus on at this stage?

Thank you for reading this far.
