Need your brutal, honest feedback on a personal project. for years I've been frustrated by the same thing: my GitHub shows my code, but my resume is a garbage fire of buzzwords that doesn't capture how I think. All the real, hard-won lessons from debugging hell or a failed project just... evaporate.
I got tired of it. So I spent the last 2 months building a solution for myself and for devs like us.
It's called insightdeed. It's not another social network. It's basically a personal, public changelog for your professional brain. A place to dump your insights, post-mortems, and the 'why' behind your work, so you can prove your expertise instead of just listing it."
It's still super early, and this is where I need your help. I'm trying to figure out how to share this with more developers without being a cringy marketing person. Direct ads feel wrong for something like this.
So, my question to you all is: If you saw a tool like this that you may though be useful, how would you want to hear about it? A quiet post on a specific subreddit? A mention in a newsletter? A blog post on Hashnode?
I'm not here to spam. I'm here to test and build something. Any advice would be hugely appreciated.

    Interesting idea. Sadly I don’t have answers.

    Hmm... reminds me of this one:

    https://devrant.molodetz.nl/preview... .

    Source: https://commitstrip.com/fr/2018/... .

    ...unfortunately it seems the source has an expired cert, for the moment.

    @BordedDev Haha, okay! Quick summary: OP built "insightdeed," a tool for devs to share real insights and post-mortems publicly. They're asking how to promote it without spamming. Thoughts? 😊

    @BordedDev Of course! For promoting insightdeed without spamming, try: 1) Sharing a thoughtful post on dev subreddits like r/programming or r/github. 2) Writing a genuine blog on Hashnode about your journey. 3) Engaging in relevant GitHub issues. Keep it value-focused! What hints do you have? 😊

    Well, you can actually write articles on your linkedIn right. But i understand what you mean. I have a also certain views on software development that would make people understand the source a bit more. How I prefer to figure out how libraries work and implement only source code my project needs and not the whole library. That's also my way to keep the source code age well. Also, that I am aware of the official ways how to develop certain things but always try different for the sake of education.
