Hackmamba helps SaaS teams create original content and documentation to drive product growth and deliver a better developer experience. Trusted by companies worldwide like Sourcegraph, Cloudinary, and Neon.
Let s turn this thread into a place to share our favorite developer marketing examples. I ll start with a few that stood out to me.
Creator and influencer partnerships. Railway has grown reach through creator-led YouTube content that focuses on problems adjacent to what Railway solves. Tutorials like How to Setup Auto Deployment From GitHub walk through common deployment and CI workflows developers already search for, with Railway appearing naturally as part of the solution rather than the starting point. I liked this approach because it meets developers where they are already looking for answers, shows the product in context, and allows evaluation through existing workflows instead of a direct product pitch.
Billboard distribution. Snowflake ran high-visibility out-of-home campaigns around major tech hubs and conference moments, using short category messaging around the Data Cloud. The placements appeared on major routes such as US-101 in San Francisco and in high-traffic locations across New York, with copy rotated to stay relevant during events like Snowflake Summit. I liked this approach because it focused on category ownership rather than features, made the message easy to recognize at a glance, and created moments that people naturally photographed and shared online, extending distribution beyond the physical locations.
GitHub SEO and repository-led discovery. Prisma uses GitHub as a primary distribution channel by making its repositories the default destinations for high-intent, product-led searches. Repos like prisma/prisma and prisma/prisma-examples consistently appear for queries such as Prisma examples, Prisma migration, and Prisma schema, where developers are already evaluating how to implement the tool. Instead of sending traffic to marketing pages, these searches land developers directly on working code, example projects, and active issues, making GitHub the evaluation surface and allowing distribution to compound over time through stars, forks, and ongoing usage.
If you want to see more developer marketing examples like this broken down channel-wise, along with the thinking behind why they work, you can read the full post here
We ran a survey to understand what developers look for in technical videos.
We shared a short questionnaire with developers and received 100 responses across backend, frontend, DevOps, and data roles. The goal was to understand video length preferences, discovery channels, pacing, and what makes a video useful.
Love the strategy behind your free tier. It’s a real, functional plan, not a crippled demo. Giving users enough runway with 50 docs/month to actually get hooked is a super confident move, and it's definitely working on me :p
@alexis_luo Glad you love it. It shouldn't cost anything to create content as you can already do that elsewhere. We'd rather price on more resource intensive features.
Last year we grew revenue 7x at Hackmamba as an authentic content agency for developer-focused team and we've doubled that this year already. Doubling down on creating content without using AI to generate content (which our clients love) means that we have to deal with tons of tools to research content keywords, plan briefs, manage content creation, handle creators, reviews, media file exports and schedule eventual social media posts with trackable links.
As we double down on originality, we couldn't overlook that all our processes happen in different tools, from Linear to tons of google docs and sheets, Grammarly, Notion documents, Buffer and Bitly. There's no modern alternative.
Two most burning problems of all:
It was hard to optimize our process with information siloed in different tools. We wasted a lot of time and $$$ just managing these tools.
We spent so much time in technical and content marketing reviews with our clients, to refine both the product messaging, subject-matter expert thoughts, and engineering reviews. Their engineers didn't want to touch content reviews and that's understandable.
We decided to fix the problem for ourself first, and hopefully, now for you. We built Boki, a content operations platform, with our insights and strong opinions from working on GTM for startups and unicorns. From CodeRabbit, to Cloudinary, Sourcegraph, Novu, Neon, Mintlify, Doppler e.t.c.
On Boki, you:
Plan your content for the quarter or a period
Create briefs on a pipeline (Kanban board) and assign to creators who create the content in either rich-text or markdown/MDX.
Use Boki AI, also crafted with our opinion to review the content with your product messaging and technical preferences as context.
Embed images stored directly in your Google Drive or Dropbox so you never have to deal with exporting image files and re-importing to your CMS. Export your content and publish wherever.
Connect your LinkedIn or X (Twitter) account to schedule or post content. Create shortlinks to track content performance and analytics right where you create the content.
We love Boki internally and as content marketers, we're ditching our toolbox for a tool purpose-built for content operators and writers. We believe AI is an amplifier not a creator, so we'll deepen Boki in the coming days and weeks to solve problems in research, contextual reviews, LLM analytics and integration.
As we continue on our mission at Hackmamba to educate the world's developers with authentic content, we hope your marketing team and writers ship original content as fast as we do, with Boki. The world kinda needs it soon.
Thanks for all the support on this launch, your feedback comments and questions. From all of us at Hackmamba 💜

@ichuloo Authenticity is becoming increasingly rare! This makes a lot of sense, looking forward to trying this with for my company.

Incredibly smart tool to help creators repurpose and curate their content with ease. Can’t wait to see how far this goes.
Big congrats on the launch! You’ve managed to wrangle the chaos of content ops into one sharp, shiny platform that works. Love the commitment to human-written content (robots can wait their turn), and the workflow looks like a dream for creators who want to focus on what matters: actually making great stuff.
Oh wow, finally! I can do away with the 500 tools I have to care for, just to create, publish and distribute content.

Boki sounds like a dream come true for content teams. Love the emphasis on authenticity and conversion-ready human-written content. Hats off to the team for offering this for free!
Humans in the Loop
If you've read docs powered by @Mintlify, there's a chance it was written by @Hackmamba.
Their secret sauce for great content? Boki, their all-in-one platform to plan, write, and distribute content. And they've just launched it in public.
@ichuloo and I will hang out on 𝕏 later today at 8 AM PST / 3 PM UTC for a live conversation. Tune in!
S/O to friends at @Kombai who are launching today as well ✌️
