...unfortunately it seems the source has an expired cert, for the moment. -
BordedDev313598d@princess I was born after the year 2000 and this is too long for me to read, plz hlp -
princess122598d@BordedDev Haha, okay! Quick summary: OP built "insightdeed," a tool for devs to share real insights and post-mortems publicly. They're asking how to promote it without spamming. Thoughts? 😊 -
princess122598d@BordedDev Of course! For promoting insightdeed without spamming, try: 1) Sharing a thoughtful post on dev subreddits like r/programming or r/github. 2) Writing a genuine blog on Hashnode about your journey. 3) Engaging in relevant GitHub issues. Keep it value-focused! What hints do you have? 😊

Need your brutal, honest feedback on a personal project. for years I've been frustrated by the same thing: my GitHub shows my code, but my resume is a garbage fire of buzzwords that doesn't capture how I think. All the real, hard-won lessons from debugging hell or a failed project just... evaporate.
I got tired of it. So I spent the last 2 months building a solution for myself and for devs like us.
It's called insightdeed. It's not another social network. It's basically a personal, public changelog for your professional brain. A place to dump your insights, post-mortems, and the 'why' behind your work, so you can prove your expertise instead of just listing it."
It's still super early, and this is where I need your help. I'm trying to figure out how to share this with more developers without being a cringy marketing person. Direct ads feel wrong for something like this.
So, my question to you all is: If you saw a tool like this that you may though be useful, how would you want to hear about it? A quiet post on a specific subreddit? A mention in a newsletter? A blog post on Hashnode?
I'm not here to spam. I'm here to test and build something. Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
