Posting your startup in r/macapps
Posts that share a genuine problem the developer solved for themselves, show iteration/updates over time, or lead with transparency about the app's journey and community feedback. Developers narrating their own learning and improvement get strong engagement.
Self-promotion rules
You need 10 karma in r/MacApps before posting. Dev self-promotion is limited to once per app per 30 days and requires the PCP template unless you're well-established. All download links must point to official sources only (Mac App Store or publisher's own platform). Always disclose your relationship to the app in comments.
