A micro SaaS has 5 happy beta testers. What comes next?
A with programming experience but little sales or launch experience built a for language learning. The tool helps teachers create materials for students and track student progress. It took 3 weeks to find 5 .
The first tester was a friend who teaches French, and the other 4 came after messages and emails to more than 100 teachers, especially teachers who already send custom exercises and similar materials to students. The early response is encouraging. Testers liked the tool, felt the output was better than regular ChatGPT or Gemini, and came back after the first try.
The open question is what to do next: find more users for feedback, ask the first testers to pay, advertise, or improve the tool. took a lot of time and energy, so continuing that approach may be hard.
