Where to post a live demo of our SaaS?

Hi All,

We've created the Live Demo of our SaaS platform. https://demo.ddosify.com
I want to share this with many related people to get their feedback. I've posted on HN, shared it on Twitter. But I'm not sure where to submit more.
Reddit would be great. I've posted our opensource project in the related subreddits and the result was awesome. But as far as I know, Reddit users hate commercial products.
I'm also not sure to post on Facebook groups because of the same reason as Reddit.
Do you know any other places to post on?

Any other advice on this topic is also welcome!

Thanks in advance!

    the first screen of the demo i would show an elvator pitch of what the product does
    i was into your demo and i had no idea what i was looking at

      That's the advice I was waiting for. I thought users know the other traditional load testing tools and can easily see the uniqueness of our tool. But you are %100 correct. I'll improve the intro and update this post asap. Thanks again!

        no prob, It was more clear when i went to your landing page but if you drop your demo on plenty of channels people will not check it. I think i am a potential user , i run a number of saas businesses and i use autoscaling tools for my hosting (google app engine ) but i have only small clues where the technical breaking points would be (i suppose my DB). The problem would be that i have no clue how to start with it and what to look for , yes i can DOS myself with your tools , but what would be the methodology to use ? no idea, should i test base load and scale up ? i think there might be some content you could write (i have not done any research on the topic , there will probably be good resources) the whole point in marketing is, how can you convince someone on the impulse to give it a try , like google pagespeed works...

          I've updated the welcome popup. You may need to open the demo in private mode since we show it only once.

          You are absolutely right. We'll write dozens of blogs, tutorials, how-to guides, use case scenarios, etc.

          Did you join the waitlist? We'll give a generous free package to our Beta users.

    If you have a product that aligns for the consumers on YouTube, it is not a bad place to start.

    You can make a few clips from the video and share it on Instagram and TikTok too.

      This is a good idea! Thanks @pradeepb28

    Maybe try ProductHunt and HackerNews.

      I already posted on HN.
      I'm planning to post on ProductHunt when we release the product.

      1. 1

        Before launching, probably you can start a discussion around your product, which can help you to get some audience before the launch.

        Also, I'd suggest making use of their "Ship" feature and getting some interested users before launch.

        1. 1

          We did that strategy with our open source product. And we collected 200+ emails on our waitlist. https://github.com/ddosify/ddosify
          I'm trying to do the same thing with the Live Demo. I'm posting it and waiting for their feedbacks.

          I didn't know the "Ship" feature. I'll take a look. Do you have any experience with it? Did it work for you?

          1. 1

            I discovered Ship after my last launch. So cannot paint a real experience picture there.
            Ship can be helpful if you have a good number of followers in PH, otherwise, you 'll have to market your Product Hunt ship page too :D

            1. 1

              I think I'll try that. Thanks a lot :D
