Ask HN: 开发者工具创始人 2026 年如何获得付费用户?
1 分•作者: yasu_c•6 天前
在过去12-18个月里,我一直在关注一些新推出的开发者工具和人工智能工具,并发现了一个反复出现的模式:
* 产品功能强大,技术价值明确
* 早期用户来自朋友、Twitter和社区
* 但在将用户转化为付费用户方面,进展却停滞不前
效果似乎不如预期的方面:
* 排名靠前的文章内容,但转化率低
* 社区发帖引发讨论,但没有带来收入
* “公开构建”项目,但没有明确的支付路径
可能有效,但效果不稳定的方面:
* 集成/生态系统
* 非常狭窄的理想客户画像(ICP)+ 外向型销售
* 创始人主导的销售周期比计划的要长得多
对于目前正在积极推出开发者工具的创始人来说:
* 是什么真正帮助你获得了最初的10-50个付费用户?
* 哪些看起来很有前景,但最终却走入了死胡同?
* 如果2026年重新开始,你首先会关注什么?
我很想知道现在什么有效,而不是理论上听起来不错的东西。

I’ve been looking at a number of devtools and AI tools launched over the last 12–18 months, and a pattern keeps repeating:
- Strong product, clear technical value
- Early users from friends / Twitter / communities
- Then things stall when it comes to converting paying users<p>Things that seem less effective than expected:
- Content that ranks but doesn’t convert
- Community posting that generates discussion but no revenue
- “Build in public” without a clear path to payment<p>Things that might be working, but inconsistently:
- Integrations / ecosystems
- Very narrow ICP + outbound
- Founder-led sales lasting far longer than planned<p>For founders actively shipping devtools today:
- What’s actually getting you your first 10–50 paying users?
- What looked promising but turned out to be a dead end?
- If you were starting again in 2026, where would you focus first?<p>Curious what’s working now, not what sounds good in theory.
