Say you built it. Here's how to do it without sounding like an ad
When you recommend your own tool on Reddit, say so in the first line. Disclosure builds trust, and it keeps your reply from being removed.
If you answer a "what tool should I use?" thread with your own product, people will check your profile. Beat them to it.
A simple pattern
- Open with the disclosure: "I built a tool for this, so take it with salt."
- Answer the actual question first, in a sentence or two.
- Name one honest limit of your tool.
- Link once, at the end, or leave the link out and let them ask.
Why it works
Readers forgive a founder who is upfront. They don't forgive a stealth pitch, and mods remove those fast.
First10 emails you the Reddit posts asking for tools like yours, with a reply draft you can edit to include this kind of disclosure.
