How do you know if your app launch is going well or if it is bad? I mean, obviously, if you have zero downloads, I would assume bad, but also, is it? I know there are a bajillion apps in the app store so how are people going to find yours?

I launched my app 7 days ago, and in true founder fashion, I am super impatient, looking every single day at how many downloads, how many paid downloads, etc. So far in 7 days, I have 10 downloads. So here I am thinking, is it a flop?

Where are you all advertising? Thank you for any advice in advance. Jennifer

Wow, still a bit surreal to see it on the Today tab.

Quick recap for anyone who missed the launch (it hit #7 here that day): murmur is a flight simulator for phone calls I built solo: you rehearse the calls you keep putting off - a job interview, calling the doctor, telling your mom you're changing the major - with an AI that talks back and pushes you a bit, and then provides feedback.
There is a lot of stuff going on behind the curtains to make it as smooth as it is: hundreds of AI evals and simulated conversations, end-to-end testing, that kind of stuff.

Hi Everyone, I am Jennifer, a late-in-life founder.

I didn't start my first company until I was 48. Had no idea what I was getting into! What I didn't expect was that I would fall completely, ridiculously in love with entrepreneurship. The building, the problem-solving, the "oh no what did I just sign up for" moments.

Fast forward to today: I'm 56, and I now run 3 companies.

I just discovered this community, I love it! I've been lurking and commenting on a few things here and there the past few weeks. .
