I submitted a Show HN a month and a half ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14537247 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14537247), and altough I got some initial visits (some 500 users), it has dropped to nearly zero lately. Here's how the analytics curve looks like: https://s2.postimg.org/6z9gmo8bt/Captura_de_ecra_2017-07-24_a_s_23.09.29.png https://s2.postimg.org/6z9gmo8bt/Captura_de_ecra_2017-07-24_...
Basically, I've built this simple project to see if there was any commercial interest in building rest apis using mock data, and I am almost certain that the answer is no - which is fine by me, i'm waiting for the next idea.. :)
Edit: By the way, besides simple SEO with google, I haven't bothered doing any marketing at all with this project, because I'm being mostly lazy, also because if the idea was any good, it should (hopefully) had success initially, and also because I suck at marketing..
- udkl 9y ago500 is a small sample size. Moreso when your tool serves a very specific target of people looking to satisfy a particular need. I would try user profiling and then search engine optimization or content marketing around use cases where people will want to use it. You also want to compare it against the apiary's of the world.
