Generic AI advice burns tokens. Generic "post on Reddit" filler wastes weeks. Scout solves both. How it works: Drop your app's URL and answer a few questions to get back a ranked Blueprint of the actual rooms where indie apps like yours get noticed (subreddits, Discords, newsletters, X, TikTok, wherever your people are), a 30-day roadmap sized to your real free hours, a brand guide downloadable free, and copy in your voice. Built by someone who learned the hard way so you don't have to.

Launch Team / Built With
Hey Product Hunt,
Most of us solo developers have probably run into the same launch setback. Let's be honest, we'd rather be building. And no one told us how to get our products into the hands of the people they were built for and we end up scrambling trying to find them by posting everywhere and hoping something sticks. We all probably tried the same things because all the blogs, Google searches, and agents give us the same generic advice.
Most indie apps don't get the audience they deserve. Not because the product is bad. Because nobody told the founder where to find the right people. ChannelScout is what I wish I'd had on day one.
What it does
You paste your landing page and answer a few questions. Scout reads it and gives you back:
A ranked list of subreddits, Discords, newsletters, X, TikTok, wherever your first users actually hang out (with fit % per channel)
A brand guide (voice, colors, visuals) you can download free before paying anything
A 30-day roadmap of specific actions, sized to your hours and budget
A live feed of threads asking for products like yours, today
Scout chat that drafts replies and posts in your voice, saves them to your library
Topic Finder that surfaces SEO/AEO/GEO copy improvements for your web pages
Build with Cursor, use ChatGPT or Claude for copy, use Scout to choose the room.
I built this because I learned the hard way that the channel matters more than the copy or design. Stamp'd, my first app, got 300 users in its first month after figuring it out.
Who it's for
Solo devs and vibe coders. People who can ship the thing but don't want to spend three weeks figuring out distribution.

@paul_from_dentro Thank you! Arcade was very easy to use to build.
Been watching Sarah work on this for the past few months. Looking forward to seeing successes it will bring to solo founders.
