Key Insight
Found 23 threads this week where people ask for simpler invoicing tools.
Contextual outreach draft
"I built exactly this after having the same frustration. My tool sends automatic reminders at intervals you set, and integrates with Stripe/PayPal so you can see payment status. Happy to give you early access if you want to try it - no strings attached."
Drafted from the actual conversation context, not a generic template.
The problem
You shipped something great. Now you're waiting for customers to find you. But they're out there right now, asking for exactly what you built - and finding your competitors instead.
Right now, someone on Reddit is asking 'Is there a tool that does X?' - and X is exactly what you built.
One launch day, then silence. You need continuous customer discovery, not a one-time event.
Reddit, HN, Twitter - full of people with problems you solve. But who has time to monitor them all?
Responding to someone's actual pain point converts 10x better than generic DMs.
