Show HN: Labor Day Fun Project, Find Reddit Comments to Promote Your Business

https://sp.bitlet.org/

For Labor Day I decided to play with OpenAI APIs and try to ship something (a prototype, a blog post, anything really).

Whenever I launched a side project (e.g: https://www.probarsearch.com/, https://ff.bitlet.org/) I realized how bad I am at marketing or even at mentioning my the project to friends/social.

I noticed that most of the traffic we got was coming from reddit/HN comments we made where it was reasonable to mention the sideproject/business.

Given that, I tried to use OpenAI APIs to do exactly that, given a business/project description, and a list of subreddits, monitor all comments and pick the ones where it makes sense to mention the business/project.

While I had the project done in the labor day weekend, I decided to productionize it a bit (really just add a login system and a payment link to cover OpenAI costs) last weekend.

If anyone is interested in giving a shot, you can play with it at https://sp.bitlet.org/. Feedback is always welcome!
