Open-source resource: a launch/distribution playbook for OSS LLM tools and local AI projects

A lot of useful LLM / local AI repos don’t have a technical problem.
They have a discoverability problem.

I’ve seen many good projects ship with:

• decent code
• a usable demo
• real utility

…but launch/distribution is often just improvised:
post once, maybe share on a few communities, then momentum fades.

So I organized my notes into an open-source playbook focused on the operational side of launching OSS projects.

It covers:

• pre-launch prep
• launch-day execution
• post-launch follow-up
• Reddit/community distribution
• KOL/creator outreach
• reusable templates
• SEO/GEO/discoverability ideas

I think it’s most relevant for people building:

• local LLM tools
• inference/serving stacks
• agent frameworks
• RAG/tooling repos
• other open-source AI devtools

A few things I think matter most for this category:

• README is part of distribution, not just docs
• different communities need different framing
• post-launch matters more than most maintainers expect
• discoverability compounds if metadata/docs are structured well

If useful, happy to get feedback on what’s missing specifically for OSS LLM/local AI launches.
