In simple English
This tool helps you launch your open-source project by checking if it is ready for visitors. It gives your repository a score from zero to one hundred and points out what is broken. It writes tailored post drafts for platforms like Hacker News, Reddit, and Product Hunt. It also covers Chinese channels like V2EX and Xiaohongshu with platform-specific rules. You do not need to pay anything, but you do need an AI coding agent or a web browser.
What it is
Megaphone is a collection of agent skills and audit scripts that analyze your repository and prepare launch materials. It evaluates your README, highlights blockers, and generates platform-specific posts into a local folder.
What it is good for
Solo builders who have built a great open-source tool and want to write clear promotional posts without sounding like generic marketing robots.
- Checks your repository against 21 mechanical rules to find missing licenses or broken quick starts.
- Provides launch guides and rules for both Western and Chinese developer communities.
- Includes a web checker that runs entirely in your browser without installing anything.
- Requires an AI coding agent that supports skills, such as Claude Code or OpenClaw, for full use.
- Generates draft posts that still require your personal review and edits before publishing.
- Relying on automated scores can give a false sense of security about whether people actually want your product.
