Comments
>log in to commentI'm a solo founder. I kept shipping features nobody saw, because marketing always lost to building. The people who would have used my products were asking for them on Reddit, I just never saw those threads in time. So I built Orbits to find them every day and draft my answer, which I post myself. I'm using it to market Orbits itself. Would love feedback from other devs, especially on lead quality.
