I think you misread the comment from Dan (dang); he clearly qualified his statement with, "in about a year." Which is the same as stated in the HN FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html >"Are reposts ok?" >"If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok." If you want to spread the word about your project, you'll be better served by doing something interesting with it, blogging about the interesting thing you did, and submitting said blog post to HN. As long as you can keep doing interesting things with your project, you'll keep getting plenty of attention here.
