Honestly, I think it's pretty hard myself to balance communications and building even with my background π I used to write about development aid on behalf of the Norwegian government for most of that career. It's a different genre to startups in so many ways.
But I think sending a personalized email about your project to a journalist or an influencer is an efficient and underrated thing to do that can to big things to exposure. It's very simple, but can be hard to do because of impostor syndrome etc. As a journalist, I know that offering initial exclusivity on a story could be a good incentive for them to bite.
My current project is #dill, a vegan product database, barcode scanner and community.
I just launched Dill on Reddit with positive reception, and will probably need to do some further steps to make it reach wider, so maybe I can put my former skills to more use π
My next project will be #titeship, which will be a quite niche tool for provisioning NixOS servers to DigitalOcean droplets.
Thanks Marc π
