I have been posting everywhere Hacker news, reddit , devto every possible platform. I am Raj shekhar, a fourth year college student , I have been working on a project for the last 7 months, like i had a huge problem that i tried solving and while solving the problem i realized that this can be turn into a huge Dev tool that everyone can use , so i made it work like everyday almost while having the semester exams in between (for context i am a electrical engineering student and I dont even like electrical, I am a tech lover) so I have to focus on the exams also, while i was building it, I never though it will be become this complex and its pretty helpful also it become a huge thing.

Now when it come to post the project on the internet every kid in his home making some cheap vibe coded app/website, the market is filled with garbage projects written by ai, I am not saying that i havent used any AI but I have used it to debug the code and cleaning the repo and for readme. But my point is these people are making some cheap things with just prompting producing same slop and posting everywhere , whereas people like me who worked hard in solving complex problem getting sideline because of these slop posts and slop projects.

ill be just attaching the github profile not the project because I am so done , if you like give a visit and understand the project give me legit feedback I want to know if its good or bad , my placements are like 1 month away I cant promote the SaaS anymore if this post will get sideline again ill just stop writing.

I think when you're hoping to get hired for a professional role, it's worth taking 30s to proof-read your post.

Respectfully, if I received a cover letter with the same sort of prose and grammar I wouldn't be considering the candidate. How you communicate online says a lot about how you might behave in the workplace.

Your project seems interesting but it's pretty hard to understand what it does. https://github.com/RajX-dev/N3MO

Understand the frustration, but a defeatist attitude won't attract the attention you want.

In terms of traction, though, posting anything top-level due to the reasons you mention (everyone having their own AI tool) doesn't work anymore and, a lot of the time, just gets ignored, removed, or downvoted aggressively on things like Reddit.

What worked for me was signing up for or joining communities of the person I wanted to help and then waiting for them to bring up the problem my tool solved and immediately helping them out and then assuming my tool solved a meaningful part of thier problem, dropping a link to the tool, or DMing them afterward.

Much more effective because you're reaching someone in active frustration, so they are likely to immediately try the tool out, which is fantastic for early feedback on whether what you're solving is important.

I open-sourced what I use to find those threads, so other builders could also focus on helping instead of searching for pain (or worse, giving up)
