I started a SaaS tool last year in the job search space. When I initially showcased it on reddit, it got a lot of positive feedback, it was a new way of searching for jobs which made people go “wow”. I still get traffic from those early posts which have been indexed great both in reddit and in google.

Since then, about a million other similar apps have been released and are flooding/spamming reddit almost every day. I actually play a drinking game with my wife, every time we see a new tool released we drink a glass of wine. My liver has not been doing great lately.

Nowadays if I try to promote the app again, it either gets ghosted or down right hated upon with the usual “great, just what we needed, another job search app”.

I don’t know what to do to stand out, or do I just have to wait until the wave passes and people start building other tools and the current ones die out?
