How can I bring attention to my modules?

Clearly you write tons of useful modules, so you have eyes looking at your recently published often. As developers who don't have that type of attention, what tips would you have in order to get eyes looking at recently published modules?

A tweet and beg to close friends only goes so far, how can I plug into the npm community further?

You should make your project have a good coding style, well tested, and most importantly, solve problems, IMO.

"Solve problems" is important. You won't get much attention on an overly-specific module that bridges printers to Ruby via node-chakracore.

The next step is to keep an eye on Twitter, StackOverflow or blogs to see who needs your stuff. I've been replying to tweets that were wondering about solutions that my two top modules solve and the response has always been positive.

I think this works best with small focused modules rather than with frameworks.
