#2OP here. I am terrible at marketing so I started to build a thing for people like me: I Can't Market.
The reason is after getting Claude Code/Copilot subscriptions I am working on many projects in my spare time. I am using many of those myself everyday, but can't spread the words and get collaborators and feedbacks which is essential to enhance any project.
Verified makers post structured asks (launch / feedback / collab / etc), but posting a second one needs a substantive review on someone else's. Recipient has to mark it Helpful or it doesn't count. No upvotes, no paid placement, no email harvest. Verification is real - GitHub repo admin, DNS TXT, or package provenance.
The idea is people like me build things but when it comes to marketing it sucks. This is an attempt to create a habit as well to review others work and interact breaking the silent cycle.

#3This is exactly the problem I'm running into right now.
Built something useful, getting organic npm installs,
but turning that into actual distribution is a
different skill entirely. Signed up.

#5I am confused by the value proposition here - how are devs that can’t market going to help each other market? Where are the marketers?
