Where to share developer startup content

If you want to share developer/startup content, the best places usually depend on your goal:

Good places to share

• X (Twitter) — best for founder/dev-in-public updates, short demos, launch threads
• LinkedIn — good for startup milestones, technical lessons, hiring, credibility
• Hacker News — great for technical products, maker stories, and launch posts
• Reddit — useful if you target specific communities like startup, SaaS, programming, or a niche audience
• Indie Hackers — strong fit for bootstrappers, side projects, and founder diaries
• Product Hunt — best for launches and getting early adopters
• Dev.to / Hashnode / Medium — good for longer technical writeups and tutorials
• YouTube / TikTok / Reels — if your content is visual, demo-based, or educational

If you’re sharing different kinds of content

• Build logs / progress updates: X, LinkedIn, Indie Hackers
• Technical deep dives: Dev.to, Hashnode, Medium, Hacker News
• Product launches: Product Hunt, Hacker News, X
• Startup lessons / founder journey: LinkedIn, X, Indie Hackers
• Code demos / short clips: X, YouTube Shorts, TikTok

Best strategy

Post the same content in a few formats:

1. Short version on X/LinkedIn
2. Longer writeup on Dev.to/Medium
3. Discussion post on Hacker News or Reddit
4. Launch page on Product Hunt if it’s a product

If you want, I can also give you:

• the best platform by content type
• a distribution plan for a developer startup
• or exact communities to post in based on your niche.
