About First 1,000 Users
First 1,000 Users is a free map of short, practical guides on how founders get their first users. The 25 guides are laid out by stage: idea and validation, waitlist, private beta, launch, first 100 users and first 1,000 users, so you only read what matters for where you are now. Every tactic is rated for fit by product type: web app or SaaS, mobile app, browser extension, developer tool, AI tool, open source, marketplace, newsletter or game. A Show HN post is great for a dev tool and weak for a mobile app, and the guide says why and how to adapt. Each guide covers what to do, why it works, how it gets users, common mistakes, and what it costs in time, money and accounts. Topics range from

Hey everyone, maker here. Most advice on getting first users is a list of 50 tactics with no sense of order, and half of them do not fit your product. So I built a map instead: 25 short guides, laid out by stage from idea to the first 1,000 users, each rated for fit by product type. It is free, with no account and no email wall. Which tactic got you your first 10 users?
