Repository navigation
🚀 Offering Growth Strategy Help #15
Description
Hey! Stumbled across OpenBoot while browsing OSS tools — love the positioning. "Brewfiles are manual YAML editing. Nix has a brutal learning curve." hits the pain point perfectly.
Context: I maintain growth playbooks at Gingiris based on scaling OSS projects like AFFiNE (0 → 33k stars). Mac dev tools have a specific audience that's very reachable through the right channels.
What I'd Offer
A GROWTH.md with:
- Launch targets — HN Show HN, r/macapps, r/devops, r/mac, Product Hunt "Developer Tools"
- Positioning angles — "First TUI for Mac setup", "Share team configs", comparisons with Nix/Brewfile/dotfiles
- Content ideas — "Mac setup speedrun" video, team onboarding story, time-saved calculator
- Quick wins — Topics/keywords, readme badges that increase trust, demo gif optimization
No obligation
If you'd rather keep the repo code-focused, no worries. Just figured I'd offer since I enjoy this stuff.
Let me know! 🍎
