I had about five of my submissions hit the front page. All of them were mostly projects on github and articles on my blog. For how they helped me: - They got me around ~3000 subscribers for hugobots.com which I have been promoting through my repositories (it would have been much more; unfortunately, I forgot to put the link on the first day while the repository was on the first page. I put it on the third day and the emails that I got were mostly from the traffic from the people sharing the post on twitter/facebook/reddit etc) - One of the project (developer roadmap) got me two sponsors paying me around ~1000$ each every 6 months for just putting their links in the project readme. - Follower count on my github profile was around ~100 at that time; now it is about 2.3k - Had been approached for freelancing gigs and was able to make connections. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13970781 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13970781 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13664127 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13664127 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12282264 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12282264 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13927262 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13927262 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14568050 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14568050
