Approach/Messaging (comment directly on their Reddit post):
- Acknowledge & Empathize: "Hey [OP's username, if available, or just 'OP'], as a fellow dev (or someone who works with many solo devs), I totally get the hand-drawing phase for layouts and flows – it’s super intuitive. Finding the right AI tool to digitize that efficiently can be a game-changer."
- Introduce Your Solution Directly (if you have one): "Our tool, [Your Tool Name], is specifically designed to help solo devs like yourself turn hand-drawn sketches into digital wireframes using AI. It focuses on [mention 1-2 key benefits relevant to them, e.g., 'speeding up the initial digitization process' or 'maintaining the flow you've sketched out']."
- Address "Community Favorite" Angle (Subtly): "While 'community favorite' can take time to build, many of our early users are solo developers who’ve found it significantly cuts down their time from sketch to a working digital prototype."
- Offer Value/Low-Barrier CTA: "If you're open to it, I'd be happy to share a link so you can check it out [Link to your tool]. We offer a [free trial/freemium version/demo] so you can see if it fits your workflow. Happy to answer any questions you might have right here!"
- Alternative (if you don't have a tool but know a good one): If you are purely an expert and not promoting a specific tool, genuinely recommend 1-2 tools you know fit this niche well, explaining why they are good for solo devs and sketch-to-wireframe tasks. This builds your credibility as a helpful expert.
