While working on a content marketing project, I found myself wishing there was a cheap and easy way to get alerted to trending posts on social media so I could jump in on the conversation early.
One of the best ways to get yourself and your content noticed is by making genuine contributions to public conversations in your area of expertise. But getting in early is key because you get way more views. Comment 5 on a top Reddit post will get read a lot more than number 500.
So in true IH style, I scratched my own itch and created a tool to do it for me. It constantly searches Twitter, Facebook Pages, Reddit and Hacker News for posts in your area of expertise, guesstimates which ones will get lots of views, and emails you when it finds a good one that you should engage with.
I've found it so useful that I'm opening up 10 alpha user slots to other Indiehackers. Get in touch if you're interest and I'll get back to you with onboarding details.
