Building an app and trying out discovery for interest but need advice (alien.top)

I'm busy building a https://chnge.app that helps with financial habits. I made a simple page to garner interest before doing more. Validation mainly so I dont spend too much time building if it's not worth it.

The issue is I'm sitting in a weird spot - I almost feel like I have not given enough info to have someone show interest and the other side of the coin I have not made any thing finished mainly because I am still trying to discover and validate.

Any advice will be appreciated!

This is really cool - why don't you try showcasing the problem and then plugging your app as a complementary solution in personal finance subreddits?

Your landing page is solid for an MVP, although I'd love to see a prototype/demo. DM me if available!

At the moment I'm working with the designer on the UX and I naively thought "getting it out" should be first over everything but I really do need to get some showcase and demo of what benefits it brings along. I will get the example of what it will do, even if it means a figma prototype or video and from there.

I was going to try the personal finance subreddits, but I was also afraid of getting pushed down hard because I had not done the ideal job of showcasing it, which comments like you did help loads!

I'll ge the changes in the coming days and get a landing update with some demo to showcase, and let's be in touch. I followed you, and I appreciate the response!

Subreddits shouldn't be a problem once the landing page is ready; don't be afraid!

Looking forward to seeing it.
