Can I share my study tool or app here?
Yes, the rule named "Self-promotion is allowed (tastefully)" says sharing your latest stuff is welcomed if it is on topic, follows Reddit's rules, and is spaced out.

Rule summary
- Always be kind!: Help people in the kindest way possible. We prefer you save your brutal truth bombs for somewhere else.
- Stay on topic!: This subreddit is about studying.
- Self-promotion is allowed (tastefully): Sharing your latest stuff is welcomed if it's on topic, following Reddit's rules, and your last share is far from the top of the page. (Give it a few days.) Also, wait a few days before sharing similar content to something already posted by yourself or another user. (We don't want 30 study playlists on the front page.) We believe in self-promotion and we'll defend your posts within reason - but if the community reacts badly - it's toast. I wish you the best in whatever you're sharing.
- Use a specific, relevant & descriptive title: Leaving a memory trick for the US Great Lakes - don't just say "Study Tips" in the title. Get specific. Use detail if possible.
Works well
- A post titled with the exact name of a memory trick, like a mnemonic for the US Great Lakes, and a short explanation of how to use it.
- A post sharing one specific study method, with a clear title and a kind, practical walkthrough.
- A post about a study tool you built, shared only when your last share is far from the top and the tool directly helps students study faster or better.
- A post that asks for feedback on a study technique, with a descriptive title and a friendly, on topic question.
Avoid
- Don't post anything off topic, because the community is strictly about studying.
- Don't use vague titles like Study Tips, since the rule named "Use a specific, relevant & descriptive title" requires detail.
- Don't share your content repeatedly within a few days, because the rule named "Self-promotion is allowed (tastefully)" asks you to space out similar posts.
- Don't post if your last share is still near the top of the page, since the same rule says to wait until it is far from the top.
- Don't be unkind or drop brutal truth bombs, because the rule named "Always be kind!" asks you to help people in the kindest way possible.
- Don't ignore a bad community reaction, because the rules say a post that the community reacts badly to is toast.
What r/studytips Is For
This community is for students who want to share strategies for studying faster and better. People post about study methods, memory tricks, and practical ways to learn. The focus stays on studying, so anything you bring should help someone learn or prepare for exams.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule named "Always be kind!" means you should help people in the kindest way possible and save brutal honesty for elsewhere. The rule named "Stay on topic!" keeps every post focused on studying. The rule named "Self-promotion is allowed (tastefully)" is the one that matters most for a founder, because it lets you share your work if it is on topic, follows Reddit's rules, and your last share is far from the top of the page. The same rule asks you to wait a few days before sharing similar content to something already posted by yourself or another user, so you do not flood the front page. The rule named "Use a specific, relevant & descriptive title" means a title like Study Tips is too vague, and you should describe the exact technique or resource you are sharing.
What To Post
A good post here is a specific, helpful study tip or resource that fits the community's focus on studying faster and better. If you are a founder, share something like a single memory trick, a study method, or a tool that helps students learn, and make the title describe the exact thing you are sharing. Keep your tone kind and helpful, and only share your own work if it is on topic and your last share is well off the front page. Wait a few days before posting something similar to what you or someone else already shared.
What To Avoid
Avoid anything unkind, since the rule named "Always be kind!" asks you to save brutal truth bombs for somewhere else. Stay away from off topic posts, because the rule named "Stay on topic!" says the subreddit is about studying. Do not use vague titles like Study Tips, because the rule named "Use a specific, relevant & descriptive title" wants detail and specificity. Avoid posting your own content too often, because the rule named "Self-promotion is allowed (tastefully)" says your last share should be far from the top of the page and you should wait a few days before sharing similar content. If the community reacts badly to your post, the rules say it is toast, so do not push content that people do not want.
