AI Code Prep v2 - AI Code Prep rewritten from the ground up in Rust for speed

It has no problem handling the biggest folders and repos, has compression modes with live preview for compressing giant repos into the available context window of LLMs, secrets detection & optional redaction to keep things like API keys from leaving your machines, less features vs v1 to keep the interface simple and easy to use. It has one main goal which is to get many files into a LLM preferred format to paste into ChatGPT, Claude, any web interface or other. A common workflow when using AI.

How do you promote your products? And what methods have actually helped your product get noticed?

I have tried several ways to promote my product, but distribution has been much hareder than building it.

product hunt is the only channel where I've found meaningful visibility so far. Reddit has been difficult because self promotional posts are often removed, and I don't want to spam communities where the product isn't genuinely relevant.

What's the PROBLEM your product solves?

In the month that I've been here, I've been noticing a pattern in a lot of launches - strong demos, polished UI, clear outputs of "what it does."

But when I ask myself "What problem does this solve?" I sometimes have to dig for the answer. (I come by that thinking honestly - I've spent 33 years building and fixing businesses, so this is the lens I can't turn off.)
