Yup. Stop submitting the same thing repeatedly.
- everrmore 9y agoUnfortunately I made a mistake not providing any details about the product in my first submissions, so I decided to detail it in the last one... Too bad the post didn't go through... Should I try again after some time?
- troydavis 9y ago> Should I try again after some time? I’d propose a different change: actually participate. Think of Hacker News as a way to highlight stuff you find interesting. That means the vast majority of items you submit to HN will have been created by people other than yourself. Don’t worry about trying to get attention, let alone the most possible attention, for your own stuff.
- everrmore 9y ago> Don’t worry about trying to get attention, let alone the most possible attention, for your own stuff. This is just counter-intuitive... As a founder, how can I not worry about getting attention? If a product doesn't get any attention, it will just... die. And if I'm showcasing my own product, it doesn't mean it's not interesting and that nobody will find it interesting... I'm not pushing too hard either, just really want to detail it further (again, my fault for not doing it originally).
