Practical approach: Using Xiaohongshu's beta-tested tool distribution feature to drive experience through content and convert users to members.

After building a small tool, independent developers often struggle to find entry points and traffic. Xiaohongshu is currently in beta testing its new tool distribution feature, allowing creators to use AI programming to build interactive products like text fingerprint generators and learning simulators. Users can open these tools directly after reading the notes. Some users have already started posting a series of self-made tools in the comments section.
