Ask HN: How do you promote your personal projects with a limited budget?
Hi everyone,

I’m the one who posted about my project here yesterday.

To be honest, I’ve always focused on development, and this is my first time launching something — so I’m really struggling with promotion. How do you get people to notice your product?

It’s an open-source IntelliJ plugin that automatically generates repetitive Java code. I believe it could be genuinely useful for many developers, especially those who like to streamline their workflow.

I’m not looking to make money from it — I just want more people to try it out. (I’m honestly afraid it’ll just disappear unnoticed.)

Are there any other good places (besides Reddit) where I could talk about my project? Even basic suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm really new to this area — I feel like I know less than an elementary school student.
