Reddit for developer tools

Developers block your ads, skip your webinar, and then ask a subreddit which library to use. That is the whole funnel.

What makes this hard

The audience that most needs your tool is the audience most hostile to being marketed at.
One whiff of a template in a comment and you are downvoted to -30 with a screenshot on another sub.
Your best threads are in subreddits with strict, specific and enforced self-promotion rules.

What ReplyHey does about it

Answer the technical question first

The drafts are written to solve the problem in the comment and mention the tool second, because that is the only shape of comment that survives in a developer subreddit. You edit it, so the technical detail is right.

Rules per subreddit, enforced before you paste

Dev subs enforce self-promotion rules hard. ReplyHey reads the live rules and hands you a DM draft where a public plug would be removed — the removable version is never rendered.

Be in the “what do you all use” threads

These get pulled into Google results and assistant answers for years, and in developer categories they are frequently the top result for the query your buyer will type.

Show up outside launch week

A posting plan of comments and genuinely useful posts, so the account that mentions your tool is not an account that has only ever mentioned your tool.

Questions

Won’t developers spot a drafted reply?+

They will spot an unedited one. The draft is a starting point that saves you the blank box; the technical specifics and the tone are yours, and that edit is the difference between a comment that works and a comment that gets a screenshot.

Can I mention my own project at all?+

In many dev subs, yes, if you disclose that it is yours and it genuinely answers the question. Where that is not allowed, ReplyHey gives you the DM route instead of letting you find out the hard way.

Does it work for open source?+

Yes, and it is an easier sell — “I built this, it is MIT, here is the repo” is welcome in far more subreddits than a paid tool is.
