Tips for Founders

Do This

  • Frame your post around value to the community, not a sales pitch.
  • Read pinned posts and the sidebar before submitting anything.

Avoid This

  • Don't post repeatedly about the same product.
  • Don't copy-paste the same pitch you use everywhere — tailor it to this community.
  • Don't post without reading the pinned rules — strict mods remove first and ask later.
