Devs go to stackoverflow, where do non-devs go?

We all know the process: Google, stackoverflow, copy&paste --> Time saved!
Recently I had to do a non-dev task that involved googling a lot, so I made a script to create the search-links in the browser console. That got me thinking that it might be useful for more people: So it's under permissive open source. Opening the console requires a bit of technical knowledge, so I also put together a little video of copying and running it.

So, how to use it is clear. Who would use it though?

Just listing it on github and youtube does NOT put it in front of people. "Built it and they will come" doesn't work for startups and it seems - neither for little stuff.

But where do you put your little scripts, so that they help someone?

Disclaimer: The links above will get me click-analytics, which I intend to share once I've learned something from the numbers.
Here are the full, non-tracked links: Script, Youtube-video
