Hello everyone! I am a newcomer in the space, and just starting to build confidence and connections to take the plunge. Would love any advice to help me make a successful launch. I know I am maybe a bit too close to kansei.app - my AI language practice app - but it is a project that is really close to my heart. I really want to give it all to make it a success!

I thinking reaching out to people through social media channels should be the thing of most priority. Have followed Kansei to get notified on launch day. We are also doing the same for our upcoming launch on 17th Aug, would appreciate your support.

Good luck with your launch, Fernando! My advice would be to focus on building a strong community around your app and to continuously gather feedback from your users to improve it.

Engage in the community and geniunely participate! I've found most people at PH to be super helpful and friendly so get their input and start building up some momentum.

@andreawang So far it is the same impression I have got, yes! It is a good thing, we are all in these journey together, just with slightly different destinations! I am genuinely hoping to make some connections here!

@novie_dizon Always! I got a few of my users join the kansei discord community and it has been super useful!

I'd recommend focusing on user engagement, utilizing social media and community platforms for marketing, collaborating with language educators to ensure content quality, seeking feedback from users to make necessary improvements, and considering partnerships with educational institutions to make a successful launch of kansei.app.

@heathercz89 Agreed. All good idea, I have tried a few of these things already, but I definitely can do more and better. Thanks for validating that!
