We've seen little traction despite being featured here on HN and ProductHunt, what steps would you advise following to get more users, considering we have 0 cash and are bootstrapping this as a side project?

I went to your site and I am watching this stream: https://beam.pro/Noplix - how do I participate in the game play?
That stream doesn't have interactive controls enabled, try heading to one of the streams labeled as interactive from the home page. You might need to log in to get interacting, you can use: User: testaccount2 Pass: DummyPassword
We're building a new kind of bank - Yes, an actual real bank. We're starting with a small acquisition and re-building the underlying tech from the ground up. The ultimate goal is creating a bank consumers would actually love to use. Think of paying your bills via "push" vs "pull" so instead of simply paying someone on autopay and authorizing them to debit your account at their will we'd actually say something like "h…
(Should have read further down :), looks like 'traditional' bank - please correct me if I'm wrong.)
We've built 4 games, generate content for math questions (and soon starting work on literacy), and have a dashboard for teachers/parents. Early pilot results are quite positive (most importantly, children want to play the games at home).
I've been thinking about the next step in 3-6 months: should we expand to a neighbouring country (e.g. France, UK) or start looking at the US. The latter seems to be the first choice for most startups originating from Europe, but our improvement over existing competitors is much more in non-English speaking countries than it would be in the US (as 90% of educational apps are English). Any thoughts on this?
Also: what is YC's view on EdTech startups? It seems there haven't been many in recent batches.

hmm - yes that is much much harder - why do you want to handle the product in house?
We started out wanting to do a similar model as Eaze/Meadow - but we found we weren't adding enough value to existing dispensaries/delivery services to warrant a decent fee/percentage (since they already had customer bases and we were starting from 0 with no outside funding like the other companies). Then after running everything in-house for a while, I realized that it was actually a much better model to handle ever…
Technically, I know this is right sequence for each modality to be built. But businesswise, is it the best way to be launched?
Also, What are your thoughts on this space/market?

This sounds like a cool idea - when do you plan on launching your v1?
We mainly have two questions. 1) Once we launch how do you sell your product to get the first 50 users. Our best guess is to use ads channels like google ads. 2) How do you approach figuring out problems that users have. The way we are approaching this problem right now is by building features that we wanted previously. We would also appreciate it if you have any additional advise.
We're building a smarter way to share product updates (https://productmap.co).
So far we've received a great amount of interest (waitlist) and have users already integrated that are coming back over and over.
The next steps would be to build out some of the feature requests as it's fairly early right now. One of those requests is having custom domains and users are happy to pay $10-$20/mo for it.
The vision for ProductMap is much larger though -- to tackle the fragmented way companies handle communication and feedback with their customers.
Do you think charging for custom domains would be self-limiting in nature? It's a fairly trivial thing to offer for free.
Thank you in advance! (and meeting with Yuri when he's in Toronto this weekend.)

You got a user here, definitely need something like this.
We will send you an email when we launch.

Are you creating a 'traditional' bank or considering a Credit Union model? (Should have read further down :), looks like 'traditional' bank - please correct me if I'm wrong.)
The idea is that we can expand from there, but this is not something we are trying to form and have a new charter issued, this is continuing on an existing bank that we hope to be able to use as a testing ground for our ideas with actual customers
