The problem

Developers ask for help with exactly the problem you solve every day, in public. By the time a founder stumbles on the thread it has twenty answers, or a promotional reply gets the account flagged. Nobody has time to search five communities every morning.

What it does

01

Searches Hacker News, Stack Overflow and other Stack Exchange sites, dev.to and, optionally, GitHub issues for the phrases people use when they have your problem

02

Ranks each conversation: does it match, is someone asking for help, how fresh is it, does it have answers yet

03

Labels questions, discussions, launches of similar products and mentions of your brand

04

A useful tip to lead every reply with, so the answer helps even without a link

05

A ready disclosure line and each community's house rule, such as Stack Exchange's disclosure requirement

06

Marks what's new since your last digest, with a CSV tracker for who replied and when

07

A daily digest in GitHub Actions, with your own topics file

How it works

  1. List your products, the phrases your buyers use and a useful tip for each
  2. Get a ranked digest every morning
  3. Reply to the best few yourself, helping first

Your data

  • Reads only official public APIs; Reddit and LinkedIn are not read.
  • Never posts or messages anyone: every reply is written by a person.
  • Runs on your laptop or in your own CI; nothing is sent to us.

Questions

Is this a bot that posts for me?

No. ReachRadar only finds and ranks conversations. Communities can tell when a reply is automated, and it hurts your brand. You write every reply.

Why not Reddit or LinkedIn?

Their terms don't allow this kind of collection without a commercial agreement, so ReachRadar leaves them out.
