Ask HN: How promote your project?

5•FerkiHN•5h ago

Recently, I've been posting a lot about my open source project, but I was quickly told that on HN Duplicates or reposts of posts are not accepted, but please tell me what to do to promote the project, I have already tried the services: Reddit, Twitter, Lobster.rs, Dev.to, Github Discussion etc. But I didn't succeed in them HN gave me hope and I started to succeed, but as I said, the community doesn't like my actions, and therefore I can't continue to do it.

Please tell me what to do?

Do you have any ideas?

Hi this is a cool idea! There is an issue though with zsh/p10k that I left on a github issue :)

As for your question, you just need to build a really cool product and eventually there will be people that will spread the word (like me :)).

But right now, I can't use it because it's broken :(

If it's fixed, I could definitely see this being useful for image viewers on servers since you normally don't have a GUI readily available

Thanks a lot for the kind words and for reporting the issue — I really appreciate it!

I just saw your GitHub issue and I'm already working on fixing it. I'll let you know as soon as it's resolved.

I'm really glad to hear you see the potential use case — that motivates me a lot!

FB ads is probably the cheapest way to start getting the word out
