The (Detailed & Creative) Playbook for More GitHub Stars

Post the GitHub repository under the “Show HN” tag - Hackernews can be a great place to share your new project with other technical folks. It helps to get others to upvote and comment soon after posting (just don’t share the direct link to your post!). We added a first comment where our CTO explained what we built and inviting others to try it. I don’t know if this comment helped, but I saw a lot of other open source projects doing the same. And while I can’t say for sure, it seems like HN is friendlier to GitHub repository links as opposed to some branded URL. So with a bit of coordination, HN could give you a potent dose of traffic.

I used tools (such at this one and this one) to see what other repos our stargazers were starring most frequently. The stargazers of these "other" commonly starred repos became an expanded pool of potential stargazers for Preevy.
