I should mention I have experience (in my free time, not work experience) in C/C++/Rust/Go. I don't do any objective-C or Swift so I don't know if Apple would be an option.

Wondering how people with almost no distribution channel manage to validate their ideas!

I've built and published many apps throughout school without validating the idea, but they received 20K+ installs in a short span.

After reading tons of books and articles, I realized people validate their ideas before spending too much time on them.

So I decided to build a landing page with a waitlist for my product and posted it on Twitter and Instagram.

Though a lot of people I spoke to sounded "excited", I got very few signups. \n(They're not my target audience, so I didn't ask them if they'd pay for such a product)

Now I'm wondering if my idea is bad or if my distribution is awful.

What am I doing wrong?
