Re:Ask HN: How are you acquiring your first hundred users?

We’re building a SaaS analytics tool aimed at helping founders better understand their subscription metrics: https://metricster.com
We had ~100 early signups during initial testing, but it’s been much harder lately to get visibility — especially with the AI noise everywhere.
Tried:
Reddit and Facebook groups
Cold outreach to founders
Slowly investing in SEO for the long term
Still figuring out what actually drives conversions.
Re:Ask HN: Is "Data-Driven Growth" a Myth or Reality?

I think data analytics can work, but most tools and workflows today are just… not good enough. The dashboards look great, but they often give surface-level metrics with no real insights.
The problem isn’t being ‘data-driven’—it’s the gap between collecting data and making it actionable. Most platforms focus on showing numbers, not answering questions like why something happened or what to do next.
