Step 01 · 1-2 weeks

Validate the problem

Interview 10-15 Java developers and architects about pain points: slow startup times, complex configuration, testing friction or dependency hell? Pick the sharpest problem and validate that builders will switch frameworks to solve it.

Step 02 · 4-8 weeks

Build a focused MVP

Build a working example: a REST API or microservice that demonstrates your framework's advantages in ~1000 lines. Prove the claim with real benchmarks (startup time, throughput, memory) and clear docs that a developer ships in 2 hours.

Step 03 · 1 week

Prepare your launch

Write a launch announcement, prepare GitHub docs with quickstart and examples, set up CI/CD, and coordinate coverage on r/java, Java communities and tech blogs. Momentum matters; launch day should feel like arrival.

Step 04 · Launch day

Launch across directories

Submit to Hacker News, Product Hunt and dev-specific directories like Openbase. Engage comments honestly; developers smell corporate polish and avoid frameworks that don't have transparent creators.

Step 05 · Ongoing

Grow and iterate

Publish weekly blog posts on real-world usage, gather feedback from early adopters, and prioritize breaking bugs over features. Your framework succeeds when teams integrate it without regret.
