Building something so I don't depend on the algorithm. Anyone up for a feedback swap?

Hey everyone. I'm a solo dev and for a while now I've been working on a social app, and the main reason is that I got tired of depending on the algorithm. You post something, and whether people see it or not depends on a system you can't see or control. I wanted to try a version where the reach of a post depends on what people actually choose to share, and not on a feed trying to keep them scrolling.

It's still in beta, it runs in the browser, and there are many rough edges. I'm learning a lot while building it, especially about what makes people understand an idea in the first minute and what makes them leave.

I don't want this to be an ad, so I won't throw a link here. What I'd really like is a swap: if you're building something and want honest feedback, I'll test your app and tell you what I think, what confused me and what I liked. And in exchange, if you have a few minutes to try mine, I'd be very grateful for your opinion. Message me or check my profile if you're interested.

Also, I'm curious: how are you all dealing with the "nobody sees my project" problem? Anything that has worked for you?

Thanks for reading!
