I've been building [Nudge](https://trynudge.dev/), a chrome extension that helps people practice leetcode by giving adaptive hints instead of just showing them the solution.

The product side has been going pretty well, but I'm struggling a lot more with actually getting people to find it.

So far, most of my promotion has been through reddit, posting about what I'm building, asking for feedback, and trying to genuinely contribute in relevant threads.

It brought in a few users initially, but traffic is still pretty low. I also recently got banned from [r/leetcode](https://www.reddit.com/r/leetcode/), despite mostly trying to participate normally and help people, so I'm realising reddit probably can't be my main acquisition channel.

I've also tried product hunt, linkedin, basic SEO, and optimising the chrome web store listing, but none of them have really become a consistent source of users yet.

So I'm a bit stuck on what to try next.

If you were trying to grow something like Nudge from basically zero, where would you focus?

I'm open to pretty much anything, short form content, youtube, SEO, partnerships, university communities, discord, cold outreach, etc. Ideally things I can do without spending much on ads.

Would really appreciate any ideas, especially from people who've grown a developer/student focused product before.  


Any ideas on how I can promote my saas?
