Self-promotion

• Promotion only with moderator permission or in designated threads: send modmail first.

Post format

• Descriptive first-person title ("I made…").
• Body text plus 1–3 screenshots or a demo link.

Voice & tone

Local and specific: what macOS gap it fills. Generic cross-posted text does badly.

Images & media

1–3 screenshots or a demo link.

What readers want

macOS users discussing features, tips and problems. Also a good place to answer questions before you ever post.
