My work is an empirical study concerning popular web frameworks. However, I'm not a web developer myself and would really like to get feedback from the web dev community on the usefulness of some of the ideas in my work before I submit to a conference or journal.

I've considered 1) writing a Medium article explaining the ideas and results from my paper and asking for feedback or 2) submitting a draft of the paper to Arxiv and posting a link on places like HN and reddit. In the latter case though, I'm not sure if it's acceptable to submit unpolished works to Arxiv, or where else I should be requesting feedback.

Is there a good and/or standard way to get early unofficial feedback from a community of developers?
