Show HN: I built an app to connect with content creators

https://collabonly.com

Cold DMing creators on IG and TikTok was getting almost no replies when trying to grow my apps.

What I noticed: Creators get spammed constantly and most outreach is generic or misaligned.

What I built: A matching app where UGC creators swipe by niche and goals, then chat instantly when they match.

Who it’s for: People trying to get distribution through creators without cold outreach.

Would love feedback from others here.

Getting replies from creators is tough when every DM looks the same. You could try tightening follow ups with something like MailsAI so the outreach feels more personal without extra work. That usually leads to a few real conversations instead of silence.
