I was just worrying last night that I've released my side project too early, so glad to hear someone encouraging imperfect-but-usable releases. If anyone has advice on finding users, testers, and contributors besides posting on Show HN, please let me know.

- jehna1 9y agoWow, cool project! You should try Reddit. It has a lot of niche communities where you could share your project. Also Google for things someone who seeks for a project like yours would Google. That gives you a rough idea of what kind of sources people use to find tools like yours. Also some directories list specific tools (like "awesome" lists of github). Try listing your project there. Or even starting your own "awesome" list project on GitHub :)
- spieglt 9y agoThanks! Any specific subreddit recommendations besides r/golang?
- jehna1 9y agoTry product-specific subreddits like /r/coolgithubprojects There are other subreddits too which are trying to find cool projects like yours. Other approach is to write a blog post and post that to e.g. /r/opensource
- dovyski 9y agoAwesome, project! I can't even count how many times I needed something precisely like FlyingCarpet. Please spread the word about your project.
- spieglt 9y agoPlease help me! I'm trying but I've gotten next to 0 feedback so far. If you have two laptops will you test it and let me know what your experience was?
- assafmo 9y agoThis looks awesome! I'll test this later and give feedback.
