Yes you can tell if it's good: it's not. Finding the customers is part of your job and if you can't do that it's your own fault
I would be grateful for any feedback, even if they are drive by jabs at the project. I have nothing to hide, and respect this community.

I'm going through the same thing with my product launched last week. I'm going through the sequence of posting on reddit, HN, PH, etc. to build that first base to develop organically but it's a struggle.
I've been posting here and there for about a week, but the actual user traffic was so low I could count it on my fingers!
I hope you don't get discouraged and keep looking for a solution. Stay strong!
I'm in a similar situation to yours. I've been posting here and there for about a week, but the actual user traffic was so low I could count it on my fingers! I hope you don't get discouraged and keep looking for a solution. Stay strong!
I'll follow your comment and review your project. Us new guys on the block need to take care of each other lol.

Six days and three posts isn't really a hard launch. A stress test with trusted users is really important before a hard launch to work out the bugs.

If you share the link below, i would be happy to take a look and give you feed back.

Reddit has a magic quality to it. There are a ton of groups. Some of the groups I have used so far are Betatesters, Buildinpublic, Earlystageapps, Indiehackers, Sideproject, Startup Ideas, Y Combinator. There are also specific groups like Public Domain and Borges which I posted my app to. Some of the other social media Like LinkedIn and here have helped as well.
So it's a bit chicken-and-egg — need karma to post, need to post to get karma. Guessing the honest answer is to go comment like a normal person for a while first.

6 days and 3 posts? What did you expect to get out of that? Some people spend years building an audience. I don't know why you would think you can do it in 6 days with barely any effort.
