It's very common to struggle with early traction on platforms like YouTube and Instagram. While these can be effective long-term channels, they can be challenging to gain initial momentum, especially if you don't already have an existing audience.
At this stage, I've noticed that founders often receive much faster feedback by engaging in communities where discussions about their specific problem are already taking place, rather than simply posting content into feeds.
Have you tried joining conversations in niche communities where your target users are active, or have you primarily focused on content creation so far?

Every time I needed to do something simple—like merging two PDFs or deleting a single page—I was faced with a paywall. Adobe is expensive, and most "free" online tools have annoying 1-2 use limits

Congrats on the launch, looks solid. How are you currently thinking about acquiring early users and gathering feedback?
Thank you for the comments. Um... I made a short video on YouTube and Instagram and shared it, but it's not as effective as I thought.
