We hit 3k users, never having raised before. Why are we struggling to raise?

See title. We're having a ridiculously hard time trying to raise. We thought having gotten this kind of traction off of $0 of funding would look impressive to investors, but we haven't really gotten much of a response.

Is it that we don't know the right people? Are we pitching it the wrong way? Would love to connect with folks who know what they're doing in this space for advice.

probably this should be an Ask Hn:, I guess magical.app is the text expander? My guess would be if you're looking VC money they wouldn't see it as a tool with great potential be something everybody uses, it's a niche tool and they want ubiquity - that's just a guess though.

Yeah, I build a similar app many years ago. The market is a bit problematic.
