## How do you reach React 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. **A sandbox earns more trust than a demo call.** React developers decide by editing a working example. Publish posts that link to a sandbox or a starter repo that runs, with the JSX in the post; a gated demo loses them.
2. **Say where it runs, server or client.** With server components, the first question about any React tool is where it executes. State it in your posts and in the first line of your docs; it shows you keep up.
3. **Bundle size is a live number, so measure it.** React developers know the kilobytes of every dependency. Publish the size your package adds next to the feature it buys, and the trade-off is accepted before it is questioned.
4. **Publish on the framework release calendar.** Major React and Next.js releases set what this audience reads about. Publish a compatibility note the week a release lands, and your company page becomes the place they check.
