“The focus of the post is a video demo, but wrap it in a use case or problem-solution framing — 'me or my friend was facing this problem so I built this feature to solve it. See, this is how it works. If you want to try, you can try it for 30 days for free. I'm just looking for feedback.' Reddit is a smart audience — they hate marketers, but they appreciate if you explain the reasoning.”
