I know there are already thousands of dream journal apps out there, but I wanted to build my own. I tried several and always felt like something was missing... or that certain features were locked behind a subscription. So I decided to make one that I'd actually enjoy using. Now I'm thinking about how to get my first users. One idea is to start a YouTube Shorts channel about dream journaling, weird dream facts, lucid dreaming, etc., using AI to help create the content, and hopefully drive some traffic to the app. But I'm wondering if that's a smart long-term strategy or just a huge time sink with little return. Has anyone tried growing an app through niche content like this? Would you focus on that or try something else first?   submitted by   /u/Antzezlari [link]   [comments]
