Building my SaaS was easy. Getting users? Not so much

Spent the last few months building DocSeek. It connects to your team's Telegram chats and Google Drive, and lets people ask questions through a bot. The bot pulls answers from your actual company data. Basically solves the "where did we discuss this" problem.

The building part was fun. Hard, but fun. You write code, things break, you fix them, you ship. It makes sense.

Then I launched and realized that nobody knows I exist.

You sit there thinking "I built something useful, people will find it." They don't. Not how it works apparently.

The tricky part is my target users (teams that use Telegram for work) are hanging out in Telegram groups, not browsing Product Hunt or Twitter. So reaching them is its own puzzle.

Right now I'm just experimenting. Writing some blog posts, posting in communities, trying to figure out what sticks. It's humbling honestly. The engineering was the easy part.

If anyone here went through this with a niche B2B product I'd really love to hear what worked. Still figuring it out.

Site is docseek.co if you're curious.
