"As a founder building an online gift discovery tool, I am always looking for ways to find and engage with relevant communities. Needle has made this process fast and intuitive. I have already discovered several subreddits that turned out to be perfect fits. I probably wouldn't have found them through Reddit's native search. Basically, using Needle is a smart move for anyone doing audience research or community outreach."
