Hn Launch

  • launch is hit or miss
  • never ask people to upvote your article directly, algorithm will penalize you
  • sometimes people post a screenshot of the title and ask people to go to yc homepage and manually find it (and even this is mixed results)
  • hn has a soft spot for python and spreadsheets - since you have a product, its probably best for it to be a SHOW HN post
  • good to leave a first comment that goes into details about engineering challengs and technical details
  • there will be haters if your launch is successful, ignore them but try to have a civil response - its not for them but for everyone else
