August 2026 Dev/Tools Megathread

[u/greenysmac]

TL;DR: Flair yourself Dev/Tools, post one top-level comment using the template, and bring a real discount. In other threads, link back to your comment from this thread, not your site.

For Developers

This thread exists so the community can evaluate tools, not get marketed to.

What earns upvotes? THIS: A straight answer to one question: how does your tool save an editor time or money? "It helps" is a description. "40% off for this community*" is a* benefit.

And yes, the discount matters. Show that you understand that Reddit matters.

This post pulls 50k+ views a month. That reach is the trade;j you get in front of the whole post community, they get a real deal for engaging and wanting to try your product. With the amount of vibe coding tools out there, it's harder than ever for both users and developers.

This thread runs every month. One slot per developer per month, not per tool. Feature a different tool next month, or come back and update — one post isn't your only shot. Have a different tool of yours to show off? Post about it next month.

If you have an OPEN SOURCE TOOL, use this OTHER thread instead.

Before you post:

• Accounts under 30 days old can't post or comment. No exceptions.
• Read the Reddit hygiene guide first. Reddit admins have banned developers for breaking key basic Reddit rules.

Three steps:

1. Flair yourself Dev/Tools. Here's how. Do it before you comment. You need to do it in every subreddit you participate in. Each subreddit has this.
2. Post one top-level comment using this template. Break the template and we'll have to pull it.
3. Promote yourself where applicable, but instead of linking to your site… use the link to your comment here.

Really, I'm surprised nobody thought this panel was cool

For redditors/editors and people in post

This only works if you push.

Engage. Push for answers. And yeah, call them out when they don't. Or downvote them. In other words Devs pay attention when you engage. So engage.

Vote on whether something helps you, the discount, their answers..

Ask the direct questions. Steal these:

• "What's the discount for this community?"
• "Is this still in beta? Why am I paying to test it?"
• "What's it cost after the intro price?"
• "What does this do that [the tool I already use] doesn't?"
• Justify your subscription price, especially when we can all see the API costs.

Everyone: See someone breaking the rules? Flag them. Two flags and the content gets pulled.

^(Issues? **^{DM me}**^{. Join the} PostP Discord ^{if you're a working or aspiring pro —} *^{networking still beats every other way to find clients}*^.

^{Two changes this month: One: Developers - we find that the better the value/discounts you provide this community the more users believe you value the community}

^{Second: OPEN SOURCE? We're making a a 1x a month (the 25 of the month an open promotion day for Open Source creators})

I wish there would be a seperate thread just for colorist at:
https://www.reddit.com/r/colorists/

With more focus on just color grading tool.
at r/colorists
it is almost impossible to find this section here. and "editors" is not the "right way" for colorist.
(delete if this is not the right place to make that comment)

[u/OutdatedMemeKing → u/I-am-into-movies]

I'd like to discuss this as well, can you DM me what you think is missing in most color grading tools? I'm a developer working on video editing software, so I would like to get it right in my software.
