# Ask HN: How to get your open-source project gain popularity? > Source: > Published: 2026-07-25 17:32:25+00:00 | |||||||||||| 1 point by | If someone has made a free-to-use tool that is open-source and legitmately helpful (and not AI slop). How do I get it to people? I have already posted it here on HN, on subreddits, on LinkedIn, and some forums. Where else can I post (for free)? What other social media platforms would be good for this? For context I have two tools: one is robotics related and the other is ML related. | ||||||||||| Applications are open till July 27. |
