Consider creating and sharing video updates about the development progress of Loops and Pixelfed on popular social media platforms like YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, etc.
Rationale:
-
Increased visibility: Platforms like YouTube and TikTok have MASSIVE user bases, providing an opportunity to reach potential new users who may not be familiar with Loops or Pixelfed.
-
Engaging content format: Video content is highly engaging and can effectively showcase new features, UI improvements, and behind-the-scenes development processes.
-
Building community: Regular updates can help foster a sense of community and excitement among existing users, keeping them informed and involved in the project’s progress.
-
Inspiration from others: Some developers are already using this approach successfully. For example:
- Skylight Social (ATProtocol-based app): https://www.tiktok.com/@buildwithtori
- Neptune (potential TikTok alternative): https://www.tiktok.com/@theneptuneapp
These creators are effectively using TikTok to document their development journey and build interest in their projects.
By adopting a similar strategy, Loops and Pixelfed could:
- Provide regular progress updates to the community
- Showcase new features and improvements
- Offer sneak peeks of upcoming developments
- Share insights into the development process
- Engage with users through comments and feedback
I personally believe that this approach could SIGNIFICANTLY boost awareness of Loops and Pixelfed while keeping the existing community engaged and excited about the project’s future.
