I couldn't find many real-world examples of how companies promote their open source projects — so I decided to document what we did.

In this post, I share our tactics, what worked, and lessons we learned while growing our OSS project from zero to 3,000 GitHub stars.

Repo: https://github.com/liam-hq/liam

This is an interesting app.

Are you using the Events API? https://docs.github.com/rest/activity/events?apiVersion=2022...

I felt a sense of familiarity because I’ve also built a tool using the Events API: https://github.com/masutaka/github-nippou

If your GitHub repository is public, I’d love to check it out—I’ll give it a star!

I once created a custom function that toggles between vertical and horizontal splits of two windows. It’s quite handy. https://github.com/masutaka/dotfiles-public/blob/66c976fb069...

I think it’s better to write primary information on a blog and share the link on social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook to retain ownership of the content instead of giving it to them.

Great!

Also I use the Japanese summary conveniently. :) https://catnose.me/lab/hackernews-ja

I am using Alfred's Snippets feature. I have registered several snippets of GH Markdown and HTML.

note - gh:

> [!NOTE] > Highlights information that users should take into account, even when skimming.

ruby - html:

<ruby>WORD<rp>(</rp><rt>CAPTION</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>

The term POSSE is new to me. It is a great learning experience.

Great, an OSS alternative to https://app.netlify.com/drop.

It is wonderfully beautiful. I am pleased with the visualization of my repository :)
