Hi everyone,

I am a very novice hacker, with lots of ideas that I want to implement. So far I have implemented a few ideas, and to be honest, in retrospective, none of them where good ideas.

Each time after I built an MVP, I posted "Show HN" which quickly got lost in the wave of new submissions. Each time, I managed to get only tens of traffic and couple of feedback comments.

Even with the understanding that none of my products I built were good enough to get attention, I really wish I could have received more feedback each time.

To anyone who have ever posted a "Show HN", whether you gathered good feedback or not, What other strategies did you apply to get some quality feedback?

I am seeing way more success in getting feedback from people I know personally with my latest product, but they don't always fit the user demographic. Are there anything else online that can give me some good feedback on my future MVPs?

I really appreciate any suggestions. A big heartfelt thank you for reading this :)
