I'm a solo founder building a social commerce app — would love your honest feedback

Hey r/founder,

I've been solo-building Nexsap for 3 months — a social commerce platform where people post and share products like they would on social media, but focused on selling.

Think of it like a social feed, but every post is a marketing opportunity.

Sellers share their products naturally, buyers discover them while scrolling.

It's completely free for everyone.

My question to you:

What would actually push you to try a new platform like this as a seller or buyer?

What do current platforms get wrong?

Would love brutal honest feedback from fellow founders

I'm 14 and building a free marketing platform – would you use it?

Salut tout le monde

J'ai 14 ans et je construis actuellement

https://nexsap.com

Au lieu de payer 100 $ ou plus pour des pub, tu postes

ton produit, service ou projet gratuitement

et les gens le découvrent de manière organique.

Soyons honnêtes — la plupart des pubs payantes sont nulles

et ne fonctionnent même pas la moitié du temps.

J'en suis à 300 visiteurs en ce moment, j'essaie de

atteindre 1000.

Pourquoi ne pas essayer quelque chose de gratuit ? Laisse ton

projet sur nexsap.com et voyons

I'm 14 and built a social commerce platform to buy and discover products

Hey! I'm 14 and built NexSap - a social commerce platform where you can buy and discover products through community posts.

Stats:

  • 300+ users
  • next,js/Firebase
  • Live on nexsap.com + Google Play
  • Solo dev - (I built this with help from online resources, AI tools, and the developer community. Not everything is 100% original code, but I understand every line and made it all work together.)

I need help with:

  • User acquisition strategies
  • Marketing channels that work
  • How to grow from 300 to 3,000+ users

Any advice? What would make YOU actually use a platform like this?

Self-taught at 14, built a full platform but struggling with non-coding parts - advice?

hey everyone

im 14 and self taught in flutter and firebase. spent months building nexsap.com which is basically a social platform for product discovery

the coding part went fine but now im completely lost on the marketing and growth side

getting some traffic but 0% retention and i have no idea how to fix that. feels like i know how to build everything but not how to make people actually use it

for other self taught devs here - how did you learn the non-coding parts of building a product? like marketing user retention analytics etc

or should i just focus on getting better at coding first and worry about that stuff later?

any advice would help. coding is fun but feels like its only half of what i need to know

thanks

14-year-old founder: 279 users in 30 days, $0 raised - what's next?

Hey r/Entrepreneur,

Teen founder here. Launched my first venture 30 days ago.

nexsap.com

The business:

Nexsap - social commerce platform combining video

discovery with instant purchasing.

Current metrics:

- 279 active users (from 0)

- 31 new users today

- Built over 6 months

- $0 invested

- Solo founder

Revenue: $0 yet (building user base first)

Tech: React, Firebase, Flutter (self-taught)

Biggest challenge:

User acquisition on zero budget. Tried Reddit (posts

get auto-removed), some traction on Instagram.

Question for you:

What would you focus on at this stage? Keep building

features or go all-in on marketing?

Any advice from experienced founders appreciated
