I built an "App Store" that actually gets your app users (not just lists it)

Most makers can ship a product in a weekend. Getting people to actually use it? That's where everyone gets stuck.

I kept hearing the same thing from indie hackers: they spend 40+ hours polishing their product and maybe 4 hours figuring out distribution. So I built Beacon.

Here's what it does:

You publish your app. Instead of just sitting in a directory hoping someone finds it, Beacon's AI builds you an actual launch plan — specific subreddits for your category, the exact post to use in each one, Product Hunt timing, X threads, LinkedIn posts, 25+ directories to submit to. Not "post on social media," actual copy-pasteable content.

Real people test your app live inside Beacon and leave honest feedback — so you get signal before you spend money on ads.

There's an AI copilot (Scout) that knows your actual numbers — upvotes, feedback, traffic sources — and helps you generate content: UGC-style videos, TikTok slideshows, ad campaigns.

And you can boost visibility if you want a push in Explore.

It's live now: beaconboost.app

Built it because I was tired of watching good products die from zero distribution, not bad code. Would love feedback from this crowd — especially if you've hit this wall yourself.
