Ask HN: How do you get traction of a free tool

Hacker News - Wed, 02/18/2026 - 4:29am

I made a fairly simple tool to help people get feedback on their Meta (soon to be google and tiktok) advertising campains and like anyone releasing it and showing it off in subreddits, twitter, linkedin. I had the dream that what if i wake up to it viral, but womp womp, not a single person used it, I guess it boils down to how do you advertise?

Show HN: Galopen – Auto-opens Zoom/Meet links from your calendar

Hacker News - Wed, 02/18/2026 - 4:13am

I built Galopen because I kept missing the right Zoom/Google Meet link when meetings started.

Instead of searching through calendar events manually, Galopen automatically detects upcoming events and opens the correct meeting link at the right time.

It’s macOS-only and built with Tauri. I originally made similar apps in Electron, but the bundle size was too large, so I migrated everything to Tauri to keep it lightweight.

Website: https://galopen.kkweb.io/

Curious what others think: - Would you prefer full automation or confirmation before opening? - Any edge cases I should consider?

Would appreciate any feedback.
