I think "customers" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that comment, only developers will watch you coding or read your blog or whatever else, probably only if you scratch their back too, and you have nothing to sell them except the future possibility of an app.

I would yeet this entire plan and just focus on getting your software finished as quick as possible, then put all your energy towards getting sales and hit up whatever subreddits and whoever writes or talks about AI utilities and tools and get these places and people to refer their audiences to your software.

I was getting 2-3 customers every week via reddit subs - but found myself excommunicated on some of the key boards for over-promoting .. product is in a good place now - you can see it here snappyleads.co.uk - I like your idea of getting others to refer their audience to my software .. it's not something I've ever tried before - I suppose they would be looking for some 'kick-back'?
