Most open-source tools come from a developer thinking "this would be cool."
HermesMade flips that — go to Reddit first, listen to what people are actually complaining about, then build.
| Traditional OSS | HermesMade | |
|---|---|---|
| Ideation | Developer intuition | Reddit pain-point data |
| Validation | Ship first, see if anyone cares | Know people are hurting before you build |
| Docs | "read the code" | Every tool cites the Reddit quote that inspired it |
| Promotion | Post and hope | Reply in the exact pain threads where users are |
