How to take your product to market has been the downfall of many, many startups. Building something is the easy bit - getting people to pay attention to it is far harder, especially if you're not someone who enjoys marketing.
Hit up your network and find someone who genuinely loves marketing a new product, and ask for help.

When you actively participate in the community in good faith, you’ll generally get more feedback and engagement when you do want to showcase something you’ve created.
