Building a community focused platform, is hard

My bf and I had a van trip around Australia with our trusty 20 year old Toyota Hiace last year. We are both freedivers (with me particular a water maniac) and we loved to dip into the water along the way.

But we soon found out that finding out snorkeling spots nearby is difficult. There are beaches everywhere but we had to dig into lots of websites, pdfs, talking to local travel centers to find the nice spots.

Since we are both unemployed software engineers we built a platform where everyone can

- find freediving/snorkeling/diving spots

- add snorkeling spots

- review spots and share your pictures

- add spots to your favourite

We soon found out that asking people to use and write reviews on the app is so hard. Our app was easy to use but - why don't people bother to use it? LOL

Have you done something similar before and how did you solve it?

Your target audience is small —- I mean, I can understand how people would like snorkeling but I don’t do it.

Today social platforms will sell you very targeted traffic but make you pay handsomely for it. Long ago the people I know who were successful as this sort of thing always did something spammy and ethically questionable to get their first 10k users.
