Built the logic, now fighting the "First User" boss battle.

Hey IndieHackers! 👋

I’ve been heads-down building my AI Math Solver for macOS. The tech part? Challenging but fun. The "getting people to actually use it" part? That’s where the real work starts.

The Reality Check: I spend my day fine-tuning AI logic and making sure the app handles complex equations perfectly. But like many indie devs, I realized I was spending 90% building and 10% talking about it.

What I'm doing now:

• Using the app myself daily to solve math problems (Dog-fooding).

• Refining the UI to make it feel like a premium macOS tool.

• Shifting focus to distribution—because a great tool is useless if it stays on my MacBook.

Are you also a "heavy builder" struggling with the "marketing" side? How are you finding your first 10 users?
