FAQ

What kind of leads does this find? People asking for software recommendations, complaining about tools they use, looking for alternatives, or describing a problem that software could solve.

Should I enable comments? Yes, if you want to find leads hidden in discussions. Often the best leads are people replying "I have the same problem" in comments.

How do I use the results for outreach? Filter by recent posts (sortBy: "new"), check the selftext for context, and respond helpfully on Reddit. Avoid spamming -- genuine help converts better.
