I got tired of struggling to find study space at packed libraries @UWaterloo 🎓

📚That's why I built Spots, a tool that helps you find open classrooms for studying on campus! No more wandering around—just focus on getting stuff done 💪

Akshar Barot solved his own problem. He couldn’t find study space on campus, so he built “Spots”—a tool that shows open rooms for studying. He shared it on X with a clean screenshot and short story. The post blew up, hitting nearly 600k views and later landing him a Shopify internship.

Why It Worked

  • Solved a relatable problem every student feels
  • Told a clear before-and-after story
  • Showed the product visually (no fluff, just proof)
  • Used an authentic tone, not a sales pitch
  • Added a personal payoff: “I built this myself”

More Examples

  • A student’s “AI résumé builder” post went viral, leading to 10k site visits in a week
  • A designer’s one-tweet portfolio landed client leads overnight
  • Notion users post templates that get 100k+ views and new followers fast
