I'm nervous as a cat. Tomorrow is launch day for my first #SAAS. Been working in enterprise and miltech for a long time. Here it is: alice.dev/

Alice · Keep your dashboards. Delete the warehouse.
Alice keeps Power BI dashboards fresh without a warehouse or consumption billing, using your storage or an isolated managed container.

Most storage businesses aren't losing money because of empty units.
They're losing money because of admin.
Manual contracts.
Manual invoicing.
Manual payment reconciliation.
Manual owner reporting.
StorageZen automates the operational side of running a storage facility so operators can focus on occupancy and growth.
✔ Digital contracts
✔ Automated invoicing
✔ PayFast integration
✔ Owner payouts
✔ Real-time reporting
Less paperwork.
More revenue.

Launched Prabzo on 7th May.
Today — exactly one month later — we crossed 100+ downloads on the Play Store.
150+ users. 15+ countries. Zero marketing spend.
I built this for one reason: solo professionals — yoga teachers, tutors, fitness coaches, therapists, consultants — were running their entire client business on WhatsApp threads and Excel sheets. It was a mess that nobody was solving cleanly.
So I built Prabzo. Free client management. Attendance tracking. Invoicing. An AI assistant called shri. All in one app.
One month. No ads. No Product Hunt launch. No growth hacks.
Just built something real, put it out there, and people found it.
We're just getting started.
If you're a solo professional drowning in admin — try it free. 👉 prabzo.com | Play Store: Prabzo — Client Manager

I don't know if others here have this problem, but I'm genuinely lost on how to get the first real 100 users for a Chrome extension.
Posted on Reddit. Got 1 upvote. Half the subreddit feels like bots or just people there to promote their own stuff.
Posted a GIF demo, along with a cool presentation and value pitch. Nothing.
The extension is actually useful and I could see it be used by web designers, vibecoders who want to create frontend — it reads any site's design system and sends it to Claude/GPT/Lovable/Manus instantly. Developers who've tried it get it immediately. The problem is getting them to try it at all.
I know the answer is "go where your users are" but the places I've tried feel either dead or pay-to-play.
If you've gotten real traction for a free dev tool, what actually worked? Not looking for "post consistently" — I mean the actual move that got your first 50 real users, and ones that actually stayed and enjoyed the app.
