Original Summary

I recently submitted my local Windows AI workspace tool to the AppSumo marketplace, but got rejected on day 2 with this template response: "Thanks for your interest in launching on AppSumo Radar! Unfortunately, at this time, we’re not able to move forward with your application. Please note: this is not a decision made on the merit of your product, but we’re laser-focused on launching the tools best catered to our current audience/community. Rest assured, we periodically review all rejected applications, and we’d encourage you to submit your application for review again in 6-8 business weeks if you’ve not heard from us." They noted it wasn't about the merit of the product, but that they are laser-focused on what caters to their current audience. As a solo developer, I’ve spent months completely heads-down on development due to personal circumstances. I don't have a registered company and im not sure if I want to make one, and my digital footprint is essentially zero. Because the AppSumo response is completely generic, I'm left guessing what I need to address. For founders who started with zero audience or footprint: How did you get your first 10–20 real users to stress-test your system and give you brutal, honest feedback? Does AppSumo automatically filter out solo devs who don't have an established website/domain authority yet? I'm trying to figure out if I need to completely pivot my onboarding/landing page presentation, or if I just need to focus on building an organic footprint elsewhere first. Appreciate any insights from people who have been in the trenches!   submitted by   /u/Undeathical [link]   [comments]
