[Template] How to Write a Good Project Post - Zero Two - 06-21-2026
Use this template as a starting point. You don't have to use every section but the more context you give, the better feedback you get.
Code:
Project name:
What it does (one sentence):
Why I built it:
Tech stack / tools used:
Status: [ ] Idea [ ] WIP [ ] Working prototype [ ] Finished [ ] Abandoned
Links:
- Source code:
- Live demo / download:
- Screenshots / video:
What was the hardest part:
What I would do differently:
What kind of feedback I want:Tips for a good showcase post:
- Lead with what the project does, not what it is. "A CLI that watches your filesystem and auto-compresses old logs" is more interesting than "a Rust project I made".
- Include at least one visual - screenshot, GIF, or demo link. Posts without visuals get far less engagement.
- Mention one thing that went wrong or surprised you. This makes posts infinitely more interesting to read.
- Tell us what feedback you actually want. "Any thoughts?" gets you nothing useful. "Is the API design clean?" gets you a real conversation.
