Looking for feedback for next launch of developer tool
Hi all!
I originally launched DebugBear on r/Frontend and Product Hunt two months ago. I got a bunch of great feedback and have spent most of my time on development since then. Now I'm ready to take another stab at marketing.
What do you think of the landing page and demo? Any suggestions for marketing the tool?
Looks good.
A great marketing option in the dev space is free access for open source projects. Just ask/require they link back to you. Would also be interesting if you could expose the backend reports to the public (similar to baremetics).
You mean that people can basically make their monitoring results public (kinda like the demo account)?
Exactly. See https://demo.baremetrics.com
The service really took off once @Shpigford got other companies like Buffer to do the same.
I dig it. Simple and straight to the point.
I know some people who could use it today.
Feels like something that twitter and content marketing could do a lot for. You can get a lot of eyeballs jumping in on hashtags for relevant conferences and they seem to be happening all the time. Developers seem to be one of only a few niches on Twitter that use it to help stay up to date on things other than the pop topic de jure.
Thanks, Jim! Good point on Twitter, I'll put a good amount of effort there.
If you know someone who'd find DebugBear useful I'm happy to chat to them about site performance and getting set up with DebugBear.
