Tips for this template

  • 1Always disclose that you built the tool. 'Full disclosure: I built this' is the most important phrase in this template.
  • 2Never list your product first. Put it second or third — it looks more credible.
  • 3Give equal or more detail to the options you didn't build. This signals objectivity.
  • 4The 'What I'd recommend' section is what makes this a genuine answer, not a pitch.
  • 5Only use this format when the question is genuinely relevant to your product. Forced relevance gets downvoted.
