- I submitted on HackerNews which got little to no traction
- but seems like someone saw it. The next day, AI Diary was featured in TheNeuronDaily
- the next day, it was BensBites
- and then a couple of more ..
So a short story: the whole idea for AI Diary was to try to make something using OpenAI's new APIs that isn't just a simple wrapper for ChatGPT. There were just toooo many of them coming up every single day. Though seemed like they were all making money... but I just didn't want to enter that space. Hence, AI Diary.
Featuring in these newsletters is cool. A lot of readers, so a lot of views etc. But not really the target audience. Folks subscribed to these are mostly AI enthusiasts, and turns out most of the sign ups were just about testing the product out of curiosity, scoping out the features etc. For almost 2 days, nobody converted to a paid user.
Then, suddenly, just before the 2nd day ended, I got my first subscriber
I'm pumped now! I'm so glad. Hoping this is just the start
