I'm in a similar phase and this question resonates.
One thing I’m slowly realizing: after launch, distribution becomes a separate craft from building. The product can be good, but if no natural channel exists where your users already hang out, growth feels silent.
Curious if others found that identifying a repeatable distribution channel mattered more than polishing the product at this stage.
That’s a good way to put it — distribution really does feel like a different craft.
What I’m struggling with is that many products don’t have a “natural hangout” early on. Curious whether people here found one channel worth committing to, or if it was more about stacking small signals over time.
