This is incredibly generic. Too generic to:

a) help you build anything useful

b) craft a value prop that any customer would find compelling

c) help the users here give you any real advice.

1. Get really clear on your ICP first https://salesroads.com/tactics/icp-sales/

2. Be able to answer “why you” if your market is too generic you likely don’t have a strong story here. Why is this the most important thing to build right now for your customers and why are you uniquely suited to building it?

Project management is an incredibly crowded space and software devs are one of the hardest-to-reach markets.

I'd consider another niche that you can reach with ads or that is more likely to be receptive to outbound.

This doesn't mean anything, this could cover most SaaS businesses. Sounds like you have (the idea of) a solution looking for a problem.
