Re:Ask HN: I've got one user. What's the best way to get more? by johnloeber on Tuesday January 19, 2016 @11:09PM (#10936033)
For the current stage, this is the most important piece of advice. Everyone else is right: promotion is important. Sharing the product here, on Facebook, Reddit, etc. are all fine ideas, and asking your co-workers to try it out will be a great step as well.

But you want to present the best possible version of the product to your co-workers, friends, and family. So ask your one user a couple questions, along the lines of:

* What do they like about using your product? What problem does the product solve for them?

* What do they dislike about using your product? (What problems does it create, or leave unsolved?)

Beyond that, make sure that the UI is good. Then start promoting by the ways that other people have suggested.
