Launching today on Product Hunt for the first time! 🥳
I've wanted to do it for a long time, and the day has finally come. It is a great achievement for me and I'll celebrate no matter how it goes! 🎉
I'm launching WhereToShare on Product Hunt and I'd love to hear your opinion regarding the project and its launch.
WhereToShare understands what your articles are about and is able to suggest communities with viewers potentially interested in your content, helping you maximize traffic.
Thanks to those who will leave me feedback and thanks to the IH community for giving me the knowledge to carry out the project!
Interesting idea, Fabio! It seems like you could add a potentially infinite amount of places to share... How did you create your initial database? If you did it by hand, do you have plans to somehow automate that process in the future?
Good luck with your launch!
Thank you Brandon!
Everything works using topics extracted from texts with an ML model. Each community is defined by the topics extracted from articles within it. The recommendations are made by matching the topics extracted from the input text with the topics of the communities in the database.
To create my initial database, I scraped the most popular communities from specific websites. I need a custom scraper for each website such as Medium, Reddit, etc. I can automate the process to manage a high amount of communities from the "implemented websites" and to keep them updated, but I will need to create custom scrapers for new platforms.
I have plans to automate the process at least for Medium, LinkedIn, and Reddit :)
What a great idea! I am always wondering where are the people I could help. Good luck Fabio!
Thank you Ida!
