Can you promote in r/retool?
AI made building easy. Retool makes it safe. Securely connect to the databases, APIs, and internal systems you already rely on, and we ensure every app and automation runs with real data and permissions (no matter where it was built).
The short answer
Post helpful, Retool-relevant content (demos, how-tos, feedback requests) and mention your company/product only sparingly and transparently; avoid overt ads and follow megathread rules for hiring.
What works here
- Share projects, demos, and build progress
- Provide helpful answers and Retool-relevant resources
- Ask for feedback or show work in progress
What gets posts removed
- Direct advertising, solicitations, or spammy product pitches
- Posting recruiting/job opportunities outside the pinned megathread
- Low-quality or AI-generated posts presented as original
Where this comes from
View the current official rules on RedditEncourage sharing work
Rule invites members to 'Explore & share your work' — community welcomes project sharing and progress posts.
Stay on-topic
Posts must be Retool-relevant so vendor messages should directly tie to Retool use-cases and be useful to users.
No spam
Explicit prohibition on spam and low-quality/AI-generated posts indicates promotion must not be promotional or low-effort.
Jobs restricted
Job and hiring posts are limited to a pinned megathread, so recruiting or customer acquisition via job posts is disallowed elsewhere.
