Creator shared the product in a project showcase thread

Primary

Personal Network

Built to solve a scheduling problem for the creator's own group of developer friends who meet a few times a year

Growth Levers

  • Clearly articulate differentiators vs Doodle — a commenter immediately asked how it compares, which will be the most common objection
  • Create a comparison landing page (Troviamo vs Doodle) highlighting the 'modern' and 'automatic' aspects
  • Target recurring social group meetups as a niche — alumni groups, hobby clubs, distributed friend groups
  • Emphasize the 'automatic' scheduling aspect in marketing to differentiate from manual poll-based tools
  • Build integrations with Google Calendar, Outlook, etc. to reduce friction in the scheduling workflow

First Customer Strategy

The creator built Troviamo to solve their own scheduling problem with a group of former coworkers who meet periodically. The tool was born from direct personal frustration with the back-and-forth of aligning calendars, making the creator's friend group the first users.

Pricing Insight

New Market Opportunities

  • European market Commenter notes Doodle is widely used in Europe, suggesting opportunity to capture users frustrated with Doodle's bloated feature set
  • Recurring social group coordination Groups of friends, alumni, or hobby groups that meet periodically and struggle with scheduling
  • Small team standups and recurring meetings Small distributed teams that need lightweight scheduling without enterprise tool overhead

Key Takeaways

  • • Entering a crowded market (scheduling tools) requires a clear, immediate answer to 'how is this different from X?'
  • • The creator acknowledges similar tools exist but positions on being 'modern and tailored' — this needs to be made concrete in marketing
  • • Scratch-your-own-itch products in well-known categories face immediate comparison to established players like Doodle
  • • Group scheduling for social (non-work) meetups is an underserved niche — most tools optimize for work meetings
  • • The 'automatic' scheduling angle is the strongest differentiator and should be the lead in all marketing copy
