The #showdev tag is one option in this community, but it really depends on what you're doing, and you still need to give people a reason for reading (perhaps talking about the building process)
I think the general plan should be to gradually build up a userbase and gain users through word of mouth—even if the process is really slow early on. I've learned that "launches" are a fools errand. Ongoing continuous improvements you can point to have had a much better result on my projects. It takes a lot of patience and self-awareness.

I 100% agree and noticed this myself. I work on a few projects and noticed the launch did nothing. When I started to work on it myself and noticed more people started downloading cause of the new features.
This is really encouraging for me, as I am currently crawling through the the process of gaining awareness for Orchid. Can confirm that the initial launch didn't do much, gained about 20 stars in the first couple days, and its now at about 75 about 4 months later. It's a bit frustrating and discouraging at times how slow growth is, but this gives me encouragement to know it's not just me!
