It's unlikely open source matters to most of your target market. Any open source advice is typically geared towards developers as users.
Look at competitors products and what people say about them, then see how your project measures up.
I can say from experience, at this early stage, one or two users can give immeasurable feedback. Keep working on the product you want and a few will come along.
Writing posts can help. You want content that can be indexed by a search engine for the permanence. Forum / social / chat posts fade quickly into oblivion
On your website, do some very basic SEO (tags and other menial <head> content) (or something like medium? I self host everything)
You can then share links to posts at appropriate times and in appropriate context (like answering someone's question and giving them a place to learn more through a link, don't spam it around, always be genuinely helpful first)
keep in mind you are in a crowded market, lots of people try to build stock market tools, very few ever get used
My advice works better when you have a specialty or niche (generally specialties and niches do better)
