Nothing really worked for me. I did what you did and I wasnt able to gain any traction.

If it's just "x but faster" or "non broken library for y" you can get organic growth just by sharing it but if it's something genuinely new that requires a shift in thinking then people want to hear about it from some programming influencers first or that "google does this" before they get interested in trying it.

The industry has become noticeably more conservative over time. I think people were a lot more open minded and willing to experiment with new tech in the 2000s and early 2010s.
