How to promote your tool
- In Membership, copy your unique share link (it carries your referral parameter).
- Share it on X / LinkedIn / Facebook / Reddit and relevant developer communities.
- Encourage visitors to like, review, and medal your tool — these boost its weight in rankings and search.
- Bring new users through your link to earn an extra +50 referral bonus.
What points can do
- Gift your tool: spend points on likes, popularity votes, trophies, medals, and follows — all of which directly lift your ranking.
- Unlock medals: medals are a visible trust signal for your tool (see the next guide).
- Level up your membership tier: more cumulative points unlock more badges & achievements.
- Save favorite tools and gift other great tools/members to grow the community.
The loop: the more you contribute (submit, check in, interact, refer), the more points you earn — and points flow straight back into promoting your tool. A simple positive cycle.
