Hi, solo dev here. I launched NotchStack (a Mac app that turns the notch into a small panel for sales, AI limits and agent alerts) on Oct 10. I got my first sale two days later. Besides that, traffic is close to zero, and I'd rather ask now than spend another month guessing. What I've done so far: - **X:** posting from my own account (234 followers). The only post that worked was the "first sale" story: 746 views. Thirteen replies with a link to the site got 362 views combined. - **Reddit:** two "I built this" posts in other subs, 2 upvotes each. - **Google:** the site is indexed and the homepage now ranks #1 for the brand name, but that's about it. Search Console shows only 43 impressions so far, my best queries (Claude/Codex usage ones) sit around position 10, and I don't rank for the big keywords like "mac notch app". - **Backlinks:** 3 links from 2 domains (a product directory and an auto-generated list of new domains). Six outreach emails and two GitHub PRs have no answer yet. My guesses, not facts: - The "Mac notch app" results are all listicles on other notch apps' sites, so ranking there is hard. - People search for AI usage trackers almost 5x more than notch apps, but I don't rank for either yet. - Stories get seen, links don't. What I'd love to hear: 1. For a brand-new site with no authority, where did your first 100 visitors actually come from? 2. Is 4 days just too early to judge, or does something look structurally wrong? 3. If you open the landing page, what would you fix first?
