The 14-Day Plan
Phase 1: Foundation (Days 1-3)
| Day | Action | Channel | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Polish README (hero, GIF, quick start) | GitHub | Professional first impression |
| 2 | Write "Show HN" post + Twitter thread | Draft | Ready to publish |
| 3 | Identify 5 subreddits + draft posts | Draft | Targeted content |
Phase 2: Ignition (Days 4-7)
| Day | Action | Channel | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Post Show HN (10 AM EST Tuesday) | Hacker News | 50+ points |
| 5 | Twitter/X launch thread (10 tweets) | 100+ retweets | |
| 6 | Reddit posts (staggered, 3 subs) | 200+ upvotes total | |
| 7 | Dev.to + Hashnode cross-post | Blogs | SEO + backlinks |
Phase 3: Amplification (Days 8-11)
| Day | Action | Channel | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | Reach out to 5 tech newsletters | 2+ features | |
| 9 | Post in 3 Discord/Slack communities | Community | 50+ clicks |
| 10 | Create comparison post (vs alternatives) | Blog + Reddit | High engagement |
| 11 | Twitter Spaces or Podcast appearance | Audio | Audience exposure |
Phase 4: Sustain (Days 12-14)
| Day | Action | Channel | Goal |

| 12 | Share metrics publicly ("Day 12 update") | Social proof | |
| 13 | Thank contributors + community recap | GitHub + Discord | Retention |

Show HN Strategy
Title Formulas That Work
- "Show HN: [Product] – [One benefit in ≤8 words]"
- "Show HN: I built [X] because [relatable frustration]"
- "Show HN: [X] — open-source alternative to [known product]"
Timing
- Best: Tuesday–Thursday, 10 AM EST
- Avoid: Weekends, Monday mornings, Friday afternoons
- Resubmit once if first attempt gets <5 points in 1 hour
Reddit Playbook
Best Subreddits for OSS
| Subreddit | Audience | Format |
|---|---|---|
| r/programming | General devs | Technical post |
| r/opensource | OSS enthusiasts | Project showcase |
| r/selfhosted | Privacy-focused | "I made this" |
| r/[language] | Language-specific | Tutorial/demo |
| r/sideproject | Indie makers | Build story |
Anti-Ban Rules
- No direct "please star my repo" asks
- Lead with value, link at the end
- Don't post to multiple subs within 1 hour
- Engage in comments genuinely
Star Velocity Science
- GitHub Trending (daily): ~50-100 stars/day
- GitHub Trending (weekly): ~200 stars over 3 days
- The algorithm weighs recent velocity over total count
- A burst of 100 stars in 6 hours > 100 stars in 7 days
Post-Sprint Compounding
- Set up weekly content cadence (1 post/week minimum)
- Create "good first issue" pipeline for contributors
- Run monthly community events (hackathons, AMAs)
- Track star velocity weekly and optimize channels

Show HN 전략
효과적인 제목 공식
- "Show HN: [프로덕트] – [8단어 이내 혜택]"
- "Show HN: [X]를 만들었습니다. [공감되는 불만]이라서"
- "Show HN: [X] — [유명 프로덕트]의 오픈소스 대안"
타이밍
- 베스트: 화~목요일, EST 10AM
- 피하기: 주말, 월요일 아침, 금요일 오후
- 1시간에 5포인트 미만이면 1회만 재게시
Reddit 플레이북
OSS에 최적인 서브레딧
| 서브레딧 | 오디언스 | 포맷 |
|---|---|---|
| r/programming | 일반 개발자 | 기술 글 |
| r/opensource | OSS 매니아 | 프로젝트 소개 |
| r/selfhosted | 프라이버시 중시 | "만들었습니다" |
| r/[언어명] | 언어 특화 | 튜토리얼/데모 |
| r/sideproject | 인디 메이커 | 빌드 스토리 |
밴 방지 규칙
- 직접적인 "스타 눌러주세요" 금지
- 가치를 먼저, 링크는 끝에
- 1시간 내 여러 서브에 포스트하지 않기
- 댓글에 진정성 있게 참여
스타 벨로시티의 과학
- GitHub Trending (일간): 약 50-100스타/일
- GitHub Trending (주간): 3일간 약 200스타
- 알고리즘은 총 개수보다 최근 벨로시티를 중시
- 6시간에 100스타 > 7일에 100스타
스프린트 이후 복리 성장
- 주간 콘텐츠 리듬 설정 (최소 주 1회)
- 컨트리뷰터용 "good first issue" 파이프라인 만들기
- 월간 커뮤니티 이벤트 운영 (해커톤, AMA)
- 주간 스타 벨로시티 추적 및 채널 최적화
