Ask HN: Make good open-source products, but how to get user?

Hi, I'm a god-knows-who first-year student. I do open-source projects, mostly about QoL, and I think many people would find them useful.

I want to build my CV around products with real users, but yeah, again, I'm a god-knows-who student with zero leverage.

If you have any useful tips or advice, I'm all ears.
