Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm a sailor and solo developer. AppSail was born from a simple frustration: when something breaks in a foreign marina, help is usually closer than you think — there was just no way to know. So I built it. Post what you need — a mechanic, a spare part, crew, or a lift — set your radius in nautical miles, and your request reaches nearby boaters in real time. The rest is a direct chat between people. Free, no ads. Built entirely solo, from idea to production on iOS and Android. I'd love your feedback — what would make it more useful on your next trip? ⚓

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?
