Discord founder (Jason Citron) on the growth hack that got Discord its first few thousand users When Discord launched in 2015, the team had a hard time finding users. At first, only 20 people were using the app daily, and those were mostly friends. Many gamers didnโt see the need for another chat app and said things like, โI already have one, why use this?โ For weeks, the team wondered, โDo people even want this?โ Then they discovered the key: instead of trying to sell the app, they asked for feedback. Their breakthrough happened on a Final Fantasy 14 subreddit. A friend posted, โIโm trying this new voice app. What do you think?โ People clicked the link, tried Discord, and talked directly with the creators. They liked the app and went back to the subreddit to say, โThis is cool, and the developers are great!โ That one post brought in 50 new users in a day. The next day, it doubled to 100. Over six months, they repeated this strategy, and the community grew. Discordโs big lesson? Donโt sell. Listen to people, ask for feedback, and build real connections. Thatโs how they got started. Follow me for more valuable startup insights from the best founders!

My idea is this. How about making an app for people who are lonely and want to share their thoughts and what they want to do with their time? In that, we will add people to the app. If someone wants to, they will book it and then 500 people will talk
