A friend build something that was pretty much this in 2016/7 (https://appadvice.com/app/down-for-whatever/1060924679 https://appadvice.com/app/down-for-whatever/1060924679) and failed harder and learned the lessons you are learning more slowly.
There are excellent points in all of these responses, and customer development is critical before you dive into product. I would suggest you go through the process of:
• truly identifying your goals (what do you want to get out of this? is this a 10 year business or just a side project)
• target spaces where users already exist (FB groups, LinkedIn groups, Shopify marketplace, etc) where you can access them
• Based on your goals, decide on whether you want a small % of a large user base or a larger % of a very niche user base. As you are discovering, only a small % of folks are going to be interested if there's not a massive frustration or fear you are tapping in to.
