Hi guys! So yesterday we launched an app on Product Hunt and it seems we did not do as good as I expected haha.

The app is very simple, it's for parents who want to bond with their children and teach them values. This quote explains better the problem we're trying to solve:

Learning surrenders control to the future, threatening established power. It is vigorously suppressed by all political structures, which replace it with a docilizing and conformist education, reproducing privilege as wisdom. -- Nick Land, Meltdown

So that's the app....

How can I get more parents to download and use it?

If it is okay with the community, I can share a link in the comments.

Oh, the app is called "Bedtime Bot", currently only available in the AppStore

I dunno, as a parent I am super picky about where I take my info from in child raising. Either something recommended by a parent I trust or if I don’t (eg it’s an app) it needs to have a lot of credentials attached to it.

Just one data point from the millions of parents out there so maybe take with a grain of salt. Might guide how to get more parents onboard though.

WTF?

Are you trying to start a business or launch a political campaign?

Focus on SEO. It is so important. I used riseo.ai for mine and we now rank on page 1 of google search

Everybody sees through this, friend.

[–] dhrvuin_dev_dace@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Most people see right through, but I'd still like to know the statistics at which such campaigns work.

Can you post this here ?

That's the problem you're trying to solve with an app that teaches values?

Yeah, the entrepreneurial problem here is: This is fucked up and this post makes it sounds like you need therapy.

Thanks for responding, I’m not sure I get your reply, could you explain?

[–] mlassoff@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The problem you're trying to solve is a dystopian quote which makes you sound insane.

[–] Conscious-Tap-1351@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Hm, I'd start first with solving a problem or issue that you see in the parent industry maybe, and then create an app that solves that specific problem. You're creating something that solves a problem, not exactly teaching someone something.

Re-think your approach + structure

Okay. Honest here.

If your summarization of the app is that quotation, I'm gonna put some betting dollars on you upping your sales game being a good thing for you.

You come across as very mental, which I resonate with. But in this case it's hindering you. Now if you are different when your sales game is on, then this post doesn't apply. But if you are the same, my best advice for you--as a software engineer who has sales experience--is to get someone on your team who can handle sales/marketing. Ask them to teach you as they go along as your teammate.
