About

Captain of the tall ship Fryderyk Chopin. Not a developer — I've always liked code, but I've never worked in software. I wanted to build AppSail since 2015 and never had the funds. AI finally let me do it: an app that connects sailors within a chosen radius when you need a spare part, a hand with a repair, or crew. It's live on both stores. I'm here for honest, constructive criticism — especially on onboarding and anything that looks amateurish. Be blunt.

How do you solve the cold-start problem for a niche community app?

A community app is only as good as how many people are on it nearby how do you solve the cold-start problem?

That's the honest challenge with AppSail: it gets more useful with every boater in your radius. I'd love input from other makers who've built network/community products what worked for reaching density in a niche community early on?
