I'm working on Whisper Catch, a Reddit lead gen tool.
Back in November last year, I wanted to validate the idea for another project.
Put together a quick landing page and some mockup and start looking for reddit posts where people were mentioning problems the idea could solve, or just asking for a similar product.
With a little bit of posting, I managed to stack up to 200 people in waiting list.
Eventually I discarded that project (for other reasons), but I learned that Reddit can indeed be a great place to kickstart your project.
I went a second time through this manual process, last month, for a productivity mobile app.
Again, little bit of manual posting on Reddit --> over 100 email signups and 40 app download.
Whisper Catch aims to automatize this process and simplify it as much as possible.
Create campaigns, monitor subreddits and keywords, have AI generating custom replies for you, collect leads and have AI DM them.
What do you think about it?
Would you use such a tool to gather first users or just grow your product even more leveraging Reddit with minimum time/energy commitment?
Here's the LP with the waiting list sign up, if someone would like to get in the loop: https://whispercatch.webflow.io/
I forgot, for the sake of transparency, there's also a link to a "generic" discord server in the landing page, in case someone wants to have some casual chat and connect.
It's called 'Indie Hackers Café'
