Created an app which I wanted to use myself, have a few users which enjoy it but I'm struggling to reach out with it. Reaching out here to see if I can find if more people who like it, or to get tips on what you would do in my situation.
"Traditional running apps does not care about that I play Padel on Tuesdays, that my knee started feeling a bit weird last run, that I'm really tired from work on Thursdays, that I'm running with a stroller on Saturdays, that I'm going on a vacation to warm country in two weeks. Instead it makes me feel bad for missing a run, tells me that I'm slower when running after hard day at work or in heat.
Empace solves all of this. By merging an AI chat with your entire running history from Strava, the latest science to fetch from its knowledge base, tools to store information about your specific preferences, Empace will help you with how to incorporate your padel, running with a stroller and hot weather into your running. And when you have a good reason to miss a run it will explain how this was a win, not a defeat."
What moved the needle for me on old tools was joining my ICPs communities and then waiting for people to talk about the problem my tools actively solve and joining that conversation ASAP.
When people do talk about a problem I solve, I help them out immediately (no strings attached) and then, if my tool solves a non-zero portion of that problem, offer a link to my tool.
With you, I imagine lots of online running communities exist, so following along and waiting for people to ask about training programs that work or how to get started etc.
If you want to automate reading those posts, I open-sourced a tool to surface relevant discussions for me so I could focus on helping people asking questions out.
