A few of them rank on google and get consistent traffic. There's definitely a lot of randomness in getting to the front page. If I were to do it again I think I'd collect emails or have some kind of plan for the traffic.
- gnicholas 9y agoVery good point about collecting emails. We had an alpha version that went sky-high, but it was just a bookmarklet with no login or communication features. Subsequent Show HNs, when we launched our tools for Chrome, Firefox, iOS, and PDF, didn't get nearly as popular. If we'd had a net in place to capture some of that traffic, it could have made a big difference. But of course, don't be too aggressive in collecting emails — none of that full-screen modal garbage — that doesn't do well in the HN world.
