Most users left without doing anything

I set up Google Analytics when I launched appkit. And I've been checking it every day since.

91 active users. 89 new users. 8 seconds average engagement. 82.1% bounce rate.

Almost 100 people showed up in just a few days. That was exciting. But most of them left without creating a single image.

When I was building services for other companies, I never worried about this stuff.

Why 82% left in 8 seconds

82% bouncing in 8 seconds told me one thing: appkit didn't have a clear enough identity.

"Why did they leave?" "What did they see?" "What did the first screen make them feel?"

It went global

The country breakdown surprised me.

US 28, South Korea 19, France 7, Germany 5, Saudi Arabia 5. Over 70% were English-speaking users.

People are showing up. But they stay about 8 seconds and leave.

So I decided to put real examples on the landing page. Show what you can actually create with appkit's templates, using well-known apps as references.

Instagram, X, ChatGPT, Duolingo. Their store screenshots aren't that fancy either. They all just show "this is what you get" upfront. I'm making appkit do the same. So users can see what they can create the moment they land.

What I'm changing now

1. Adding real store screenshot examples to the landing page
2. Showing "you can make this" instead of generic placeholders
3. Starting SEO setup so people can find appkit through search

Searching "app store screenshot maker" in Korean returns almost no tool recommendations. That's an empty space.

The goal: people find appkit through search, understand it in seconds, and start using it.
