Get the first 50 real users through channels the user's ICP already uses. Use when the product shipped and nobody came, the user is "posting more" with no result, or is reaching for paid ads before product-market fit.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Your first 50 users > You don't get your first 50 users by posting more. You get them by going where your users *already* discover tools, and, at the start, by doing things that don't scale. **Use this when:** you launched to silence, you're spraying every channel hoping one works, or you're about to buy ads to fix a problem ads can't fix. ## The core idea Every developer audience has an existing **technology-discovery loop**: the specific places they already go to find new tools. Your job isn't to invent demand; it's to position yourself *inside that loop*. And your first cohort is hand-to-hand: the TAB members from `talk-to-users` are your first users. ## Framework: the top of the DREAM funnel (Frankl) - **Discovery**: be where developers look: the communities, newsletters, influencers, and searches your ICP already uses. Metric: unique humans, not pageviews. - **Research**: give the interested dev a next step *before they forget you*: newsletter, Discord, free tier, docs. Developers can sit in Research for months, so sustain the relationship. …

How to install
mdr add aidevgtm/gtm-cofounder/first-50-users@sha256:ea22ab76229660a2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.670025b, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
