## How do you reach Node.js developers?

Developers are the audience that taught the industry to block ads. The way in is not a louder interruption; it is the reading they chose, in the place they open every day. That is why daily.dev Ads exists: to help brands earn a place in that reading, week after week.

1. **npm install and three lines is the whole story.** Node developers adopt in the time it takes to run a script. Open your posts with the install and the first call, and link to a page that starts with the same lines.
2. **Typed exports are now the baseline, not a bonus.** Many Node developers write TypeScript. Publish the typed call and the autocomplete, and say the types ship with the package; a package without them gets passed over.
3. **Runtime choice is a live topic, so say what you test on.** Node developers compare Node, Bun and Deno. Publish which runtimes your package supports and is tested on; a plain list reads as competence, and silence reads as untested.
4. **Maintenance is the trust signal they check first.** Node developers have watched dependencies go unmaintained. Publish your release cadence, changelog and supported versions on your company page; it answers the question before they install.
