# RedShip

> RedShip finds the Reddit conversations where someone is describing the problem your product solves, scores them, and drafts a reply in your voice. You post it yourself.

Links ending in `.md` are plain Markdown; the same page is at the URL without `.md`, and also answers an `Accept: text/markdown` header. Pricing and feature data is read from each tool's own public pages and dated per tool.
