Yes. Marketing skills are significant, and I'm trying to learn more about it. It's just at the early stage for me though lol. I hope I can stick to it.

Agreed. I think that's the basis of promotion and marketing: find your users and make sure you can reach them. I'll try to be more focused on meeting the needs. Ty.

#16You will find in five years. Untill then, practice, analyse, experiment the tool, make it efficient.
You would have already known your plan, the five years is to clear out the trash from head and find why you started in first place

#19This is always the struggle. To implement it is not like promote it. Making the product publicly visible and known is actually the harder part.
Be consistent, try on multiple places, be active, make good site, good videos, good training, talk to people, listen what they say. Post it in reddit, write articles in places like here, dev.to, medium, explain how you did it, why, what you learned...
Cases where somebody implements something and it becomes viral for a one night sleep are so rare, that I am not really sure that they actually exists ;)
