Pro Automated aggregation for press and YouTube exposure
Promoter's core feature is a self-updating timeline view of press mentions from an enormous list of sources, including YouTube. Awards and review scores are also tracked.
Pro Streamlined single-purpose tools are fast and easy to use
Each tool is presented as a turnkey solution to a common task which is either time-consuming or easily mishandled without experience.
Pro Includes a list other recommended resources
In addition to Rami's own tools, the toolkit page links to tools by others with the same "do one job and do it well" design. There are also several links to informational resources which Rami considers essential material for new developers.
Cons
Con Some tools require private hosting
Many of Rami's tools are implemented in PHP and expect to be accessed from a dedicated web server (i.e. you host your own copy). If you don't already have a website with full server access, they may lack the convenience of hosted services. However, they can be run from a free localhost server; so paying for a host is not required.
