The Developer's Itch

Developer Tools

When to use this:

When targeting developers with a tool that solves a specific technical pain point

Strategy:

This goes beyond a generic 'problem-solution' by getting into the nitty-gritty of a technical frustration. It uses developer-specific language to create a powerful 'I know that exact pain!' moment. This hyper-specific empathy builds instant rapport and positions your tool as a solution made by a true peer.

Template:

You know that feeling when you have to manually [do a tedious technical task, e.g., 'wrestle with webpack configs', 'parse nested JSON from a legacy API', 'SSH into a server just to restart a service']? I got so fed up with it that I spent the last [timeframe] building the solution. Meet [App Name]. It's a [dead-simple CLI tool / no-BS web app] that automates that entire process.

The LEGO Block / API-First

Developer Tools

When to use this:

For launching an API, library, or framework for other developers

Strategy:

This is for launching a product that isn't a standalone app, but a component for other developers to use (API, library, framework). The focus is not on what your app does, but on what other people can now build. It sells empowerment and possibility, positioning your product as the perfect tool for their next project.

Template:

Stop building [feature, e.g., 'user authentication', 'activity feeds', 'PDF generation'] from scratch. Seriously. I'm launching [Product Name], a [drop-in React component / single API] that handles it for you. ✅ Dead-simple integration ✅ Incredible documentation ✅ Generous free tier to get you started Now you can focus on your core product instead of reinventing the wheel.
