Some notes on promoting your website on HN... I'm not speaking for HN, just sharing what people seem to like and dislike: There's nothing wrong with submitting your own site here, if it's of interest to hackers. And nothing wrong with commenting on it either. In fact, comments from a site author are very welcome! But you need to disclose your affiliation with the site. And tell us something interesting about the site or your experiences in building it. And it's fine to ask your friends to comment - if they also have something interesting or informative to say. Otherwise their comments may just annoy people. It also helps to have some history of posting quality comments here. Of course that's not required, but if you're new here, it will especially help if your comments have some substance to them. In short: make it interesting and worth everyone's while to read. One more thing, just a spelling nitpick but one that's really good to learn. When referring to program code, the plural of "code" is not "codes". "Code" doesn't have a plural. It's not something you can count: you can't have one code, or two or three codes. It's all just code. Of course there are all sorts of plurals around code. You can count lines of code, code samples, and code snippets. Now the verb "to code" does have a case where you write "codes": "I code, you code, she codes, we all code." Any other time you find yourself wanting to write "codes", stop and ask if you should be using a plural phrase like the ones above, or if you should just use the word "code" on its own, as in "What is the code to do an Ajax request with jQuery?" - not "What are the codes to do an Ajax request with jQuery?" Just to make things really confusing, there are other uses of "code" as a noun that do have singular and plural forms, such as "secret codes". You could talk about "a secret code" or say "we cracked the last of their secret codes." But when talking about program code, it's always just code. Isn't English fun? ;-)
