I used to think that building the app was the main boss fight. I spent the last two weeks glued to my screen, fixing database logic, formatting layouts, and making sure my classifieds directory for crypto asset listings worked perfectly. I felt like a king when the MVP finally went live on Vercel.
Then the reality check hit me. Zero users. Completely flat analytics.
I quickly realized that coding with AI tools is the easy part. The real nightmare starts when you have zero dollars for marketing.

You try to post on social media, and your reach is completely invisible because you have a fresh account.

Hey Product Hunt community I ve been building PaperLocal: https://paperlocal.app

Lately I have been doing both dev and PM work and it made me realize a big problem. When a team starts growing you completely lose visibility of where the time actually goes. You end up guessing if your best people are doing deep work or if they are just putting out fires and dealing with context switching.
I really hate micromanagement. Tracking every single minute of your employees is exhausting and ruins the culture. So I built a tool to solve this from a different angle.
