   I'd recommend People Powered by Jono Bacon

   He's running a class this fall too: https://twitter.com/jonobacon/status/1531695011342913536

   You probably want to change that line, it's not true and/or a cheeky joke that turns off devs.

   More generally, is this project basically Hashicorp Vault?

   re: where to get feedback...

   - your current users, though this is a chicken-egg problem

   - I've had good luck in slack orgs, don't be marketing or fishing for users. Get to know the group before making an ask

   - make it as easy as possible in as many places as possible. GitHub, a form, by email, from both inside and outside the app

   If you are trying (maybe even if not) to make this a business, checkout https://startupschool.org and https://coss.media

   People Powered is a good book about community building

   People Powered is an excellent book on this subject. Much better and deeper than this article.

   I'd start by reading People Powered by Jono Bacon, because it's complicated and typically unique to each project.

   Documentation is always important, and what I am working on for my own project exclusively right now.

   You should read the book People Powered by Jono Bacon. Has some really good insights and is a 101 course on exactly this.
