I have an open source CLI tool for provisioning preview environments. I want to get it in front of relevant developers. What are the most effective methods for doing this? Thank you!
Share it here. Seriously, prepare a Show HN post and give enough info on what it is and why people might want to use it.
There are "awesome" lists on github, get in touch with maintainers
I find a lot of tools from their newsletter.
I wish freshmeat was still a thing! Is there a replacement?
Make a website showing several realistic scenarios of it doing helpful things, and document it well.
Be wary asking this. People may state how they prefer to be contacted / promoted to, but this may not align with what is actually effective.
Good projects don't need promotion. Unless you're looking to monetize it, surely the reward is creating the solution you needed?
Share it on relevant subreddits and make a gif out how to use it with https://github.com/charmbracelet/vhs
Projects with gifs on reddit get more attention.
