Would you use daily check-ins to build your dev brand?

I'm validating whether developers actually want this or if it's just me:

Problem: I know personal branding helps career growth, but I have 500+ LinkedIn connections and zero posts. Writing "content" feels performative and time-consuming.

Proposed solution: Daily push notifications with quick prompts ("What are you working on?"). Answer in one line. AI transforms weekly check-ins into platform-specific posts (LinkedIn, X, Mastodon, YouTube). You review/edit before posting.

Target: Developers who know they should build a brand but hate "content creation"

Pricing hypothesis: $29/mo for unlimited AI-generated posts

Before I build this: - Would you actually use daily check-ins for brand building? - Is $29/mo reasonable for this? - What would make you NOT use this?

Landing page: https://devcue.io/

Validation survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwOiLmEKVxmoSuqu0e...

Planning to kill the project if <20 people say they'd pay. Build if 50+ would pay.

Brutally honest feedback needed.*

Linkedin is at best a way to display you are a legit human who has made enough friends in your career that they might want to stay in touch with you. What you are proposing seems like a great way to make your page look like it was written by a bot or a state sponsored hacker.

As far as “personal dev brand” that sounds like some main character syndrome shit to me, but I’m just a Gen Xer who has been getting hired without ever posting on LI since it’s existed so what do i know.
