Announcements get lost. A Slack message scrolls away, an email sits unread, and by
the time anyone sees it the thing is old news. Rally sends one announcement to the
members who asked to hear about it, says plainly what it is, and keeps a shared
checklist of who has taken a look.
Real accounts. Real people. Rally never posts, votes or comments for anyone.

One group, wherever you posted it Reddit YouTube X / Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Product Hunt
Two ways to start
Your own people — or help getting a group together.
Rally is the announcement layer. Who is in the group is your call: the colleagues,
collaborators and community members who already care what you are working on.
Invite the people already close to it
The company, your collaborators, the community members who asked to be kept in the
loop. They sign in with Google, pick what they want to be told about, and from then
on “we posted something” arrives once, as a notification, instead of as a
“hey, can you take a look at this?” message you send 40 times.
Invite-only. No public signup — an admin adds people by email, and anyone can opt out at any time.
Tell the right part of the group. Teams, tags, or named members — so people only hear about the things that are actually theirs.
Members choose what they hear about. Quiet hours, muted announcement types, and announcements that close themselves.
A simple picture of who has seen it. Completion counts per announcement and CSV export in the admin dashboard.
Rally only helps if there is somebody to tell. If you are starting from nobody,
Codersera and the Rally team can help you put a group together — people who
already work in your field and genuinely care what you ship, invited by email. They
join as ordinary members under your admin, with the same right as anyone else to
read an announcement and decide it isn't for them.
People who already care about the work. Colleagues, collaborators and community members, on the accounts they have always used — never accounts made for the occasion.
Nobody is paid per action. There is no payment for reading, commenting or sharing, and anyone with a commercial relationship with you has to disclose it — our terms require it.
We help with the setup. Getting people invited, writing the announcements plainly, picking sensible due dates — so the admin work is not yours.
Completion tracking you can trust. Screenshot-backed completions where it matters, visible to you and nobody else.
Whatever you just published — a Reddit thread, a YouTube upload, an X post, a Product
Hunt page. Rally pulls the title and thumbnail, and you say what it is: something to
read, watch, reply to or pass on.
2
Choose who hears it
The whole group, or one team, one tag, or a handful of people. Add a due date, and
say whether you want a screenshot when somebody marks it done.
3
The announcement goes out
One push notification to the members you picked. A tap opens the thing itself in the
platform's own app — with a draft ready to edit if the announcement asks for words.
4
See who has seen it
Completions land in the dashboard as they happen: who opened it, who marked it done,
who hasn't got to it yet. A shared checklist, and nothing more than that.
Inside the app
Built so that taking a look costs ten seconds.
iOS, Android and web from one codebase. Members see their announcements. Admins see the checklist.

An announcement board, not a group chat
What's new, what you've already looked at, what's still open. Nothing here is assigned to you and nothing is owed.

Suggested comments
Been waiting for the scheduling piece — the old flow needed three tabs to do this.
The proof screenshots are the part I didn't know I needed. Nice release.
Does this handle multi-account? Either way, shipping this fast is wild.

Drafts, never auto-posts
When an announcement asks for words, Rally offers a starting point so nobody stares at an empty box. The member edits it, posts it themselves from their own account, and attaches proof if it was asked for.

Who has seen it, who has acted
Completion per announcement, participation per member, and a CSV export. It is a checklist: it says who ticked the box here, and nothing about what happened anywhere else.
Wherever you posted it
Same announcement, whatever you just published.
Telling your own people is the same job everywhere: say what went up, say who it is
for, and let the people close to the work decide whether it is worth their time.
Rally states that plainly — and never asks for anything a platform's own rules forbid.
Reddit
For the members who are already in that community
If you posted in a community you belong to, the people in your group who read it are
the ones worth telling. Rally lets them know it exists. Whether they read it, reply,
or scroll straight past is entirely theirs to decide.
What the announcement says: this is up, read it if it's your thing, reply if you have something worth saying. Rally never asks anyone to vote.
YouTube
For the people who would actually watch it
A new upload is easy to miss — it lands in a subscription feed at whatever hour you
happened to publish. Rally says it is up, once, to the members who asked to be told
about new videos. Everyone else never sees the notification.
What the announcement says: the video is up; watch it if it is for you, and say something specific if you have a thought.
X / Twitter
For the people who follow the work
A thread goes by quickly, and the people close to what you are building are the ones
who would want to know it exists. One announcement tells them — each with their own
draft if they want one, so nobody is pasting the sentence next to them.
What the announcement says: the thread is live; read it, and reply in your own words if you have a view.
Instagram
For the members who asked about new posts
A story or a carousel slides out of view quickly, and nobody goes looking for one.
Rally spells out what this particular post is — a proper look, a save, an actual
comment — instead of hoping people guess.
What the announcement says: this went up; have a real look, save it if it is useful to you, comment more than an emoji.
LinkedIn
For colleagues and collaborators
A hiring post, a release, a write-up: the people who already work with you are the
ones it is genuinely for. Rally tells them once, plainly, and its drafts are long
enough to be actual comments rather than a template.
What the announcement says: we posted this; read it properly, and leave two sentences if you have an actual opinion.
Launch days
Product Hunt, Hacker News, Show HN
Launch day is a long day, and every one of these places has its own rules about what
you may ask for. Rally lets you keep your own group in the loop across the hours —
who is around at 7am, who is around at 6pm — without a spreadsheet and forty DMs.
What the announcement says: whatever that platform's rules allow, and nothing they don't — you write it, Rally delivers it.
In the box
Everything an announcement actually needs.
Push notifications
iOS, Android and web. One tap from the lock screen to the thing itself, with quiet hours per member.
Due dates & auto-expiry
Announcements close themselves when the date passes, so nobody is looking at a three-week-old list.
Who hears it
The whole group, or one team, one tag, or named members — so people only hear about what is theirs.
AI comment drafts
A starting point per member, generated from the link. Members edit and post them themselves — Rally never posts.
Proof screenshots
Require a screenshot on the announcements where it matters. Proof is admin-only — never public, never shared.
Completion tracking
Who has seen an announcement, who has marked it done, and a CSV export when you want the raw list.
The part that keeps you safe
What Rally will never do
Tools that fake the humans get accounts banned. Rally is built the other way round:
it is an announcement layer with a shared checklist attached, and anything that
happens anywhere else is done by a person, in that platform's own app, on their own
account, because they decided to. What Rally promises you is that your own people
find out — never a number, a placement or any other result.
No automated voting, posting or commenting. Rally has no write access to any platform.
No bot farms, bought accounts or paid-per-action work. Only real people an admin invited by email, on the accounts they already use, none of them paid for reading, commenting or sharing. Anyone with a commercial relationship to the poster has to disclose it, and our terms require it.
Nothing a platform's own rules prohibit. An announcement never asks anyone to do something the target platform forbids — organised voting on Reddit, for one. Our terms say so, and an announcement that crosses that line is the wrong announcement.
Never an instruction to vote. An announcement says something is live and what it is about: reading, watching, replying. What a person does with a vote button is between them and the platform, and we do not ask.
No credential collection. Rally never asks for your Reddit, X or YouTube logins.
No obligation on anyone. Interacting is always optional and always the member's own judgement. Any announcement can be ignored with no reason given, nothing auto-claims, nothing auto-completes, and one nobody takes up simply expires. Skip it, mute the types you never want to hear about, set quiet hours, or leave.
Questions
The things people ask first
Is this allowed by the platforms?
Rally doesn't touch the platforms at all — it sends a notification to your own
members and links out. What the announcement says is your call, and you're
responsible for keeping it inside each platform's rules. Some of those rules are
strict: Reddit, for one, prohibits organising votes, so Rally is not the tool for
that and our terms say so plainly. Telling the people around
a company that it published something is an ordinary announcement; telling them how
to vote, or asking them to pretend to be someone they aren't, is not — and Rally is
built so the honest version is the easy one.
How many people do I need for it to work?
Fewer than you'd think. A handful of people who actually care what you published is
worth more than a long list of names who never open anything. Rally is as useful for
six people as for sixty — the point is that your own people find out at all.
What if I don't have a group yet?
Then there is nobody to tell, and Rally on its own won't help you much. Codersera and
the Rally team can help you put one together: finding people who already work in your
field, and getting them invited. They join as ordinary members under your admin and
behave like everyone else — open the link, read it, decide for themselves whether they
have anything to add, and mark it done. Nobody is paid per action, completions can
require a screenshot so you can see what actually happened, and anyone paid in
connection with what they post has to disclose it — our
terms require that.
Won't everyone end up leaving the same comment?
Not if the drafts are different, which is why Rally generates a different starting
point for each member and tells them to rewrite it. Most people who see an
announcement won't comment at all, and that is fine — the words that do get posted
are the member's own.
Can members ignore an announcement?
Always, and most will most of the time. Nothing auto-claims, nothing auto-completes,
and an announcement nobody takes up just expires. Members choose what they are told
about in the first place, can mute the types they never want (say, comments), and set
quiet hours so a 2am post doesn't wake them.
Where does it run?
It's your deployment: a small Node API with SQLite or Postgres, plus an Expo app for
iOS, Android and web. Sign-in is Google-only, invite-only, and proof screenshots are
served to admins alone.
Something going live this week?
Stop DM-ing forty people. Tell them once.
Set it up for your own group in an afternoon, or tell us what you're working on and
we'll help you get the right people into the room.
