Free app? no users?
I like it's pretty well documented around the internet bubble I live in that it's difficult to get new users for an app if you don't have an established audience. This is true even when you give it away for free and perhaps freeness works against user acquisition also.
One way I think you can get more users of any software is to better refine the problem that it solves. This is an iterative activity and I wanted to share a new feature I've added to wishlist palace that I think improves the user experience and is more realistic about users who will actually make an account on that site.
No Account? No Problem — Guests Can Now Claim Items on Any Shared List
Wish lists (for birthdays or holidays) are meant to be shared but I often faced some friction in coordinating with family about who should get what. It's an incredible privilege to have this problem. However, up until now, to share lists with people on wishlist palace you had to make an account AND EVERYONE YOU WANTED TO SHARE IT WITH also had to make an account. People hate making accounts though. So this was a source of friction.
