The most trusted launch format on Reddit. You lead with the community's pain, tell your personal story, then introduce the product as a natural conclusion — not a pitch.
Borrowed from Hacker News's 'Show HN' format. Short, humble, specific. Works best in r/SideProject, r/IMadeThis, and r/webdev. No pitch, just a builder sharing their work.
