Show HN: Smarketly–The Marketing CoFounder I Built Because No One Saw My Product
I'm Frederick, a builder from Ghana where our tech ecosystem is still emerging. For years, I created solutions that died in obscurity—not because they weren't good, but because marketing felt like an impossible mountain to climb without resources or expertise. After watching my best ideas disappear into the void, I built what I desperately needed: an AI marketing partner that works like a team member, not just another tool. Smarketly's AI assistant June:

Hunts for qualified leads in communities where your users already exist Crafts personalized outreach that doesn't trigger spam filters or cringe reflexes Develops marketing strategies calibrated to your specific growth stage Generates conversion-focused content in your authentic voice

I built this because the "build it and they will come" myth kills more promising products than technical challenges ever could—especially for founders outside Silicon Valley networks. This is solving my own deepest pain point as a solo founder. It's helped me reach 3x more potential users in the first month using it than in the previous six months combined. Still rough around the edges, but I'd love feedback from fellow builders who know what it's like to create something great that no one discovers. Try it: smarketly.lema-lema.com
