I did do a show Hn earlier this week, but it seemed very inefficient to put people through a page that gets them to sign up to create their own documents, I just decided to annotate documents that interest me and post them here for other like-minded people. (Believe it or not, annotating this took three days.)
Also, you're right about the chat box being annoying I will probably remove it from that page.
If there are specific tips for making the presentation more straight forward and honest, I'm all ears.
Thank you for the feedback
- brudgers 9y agoInefficient for who? I clicked on a link hoping to read something by Kay. I got something else instead. Figuring out what it was required me to look at the "Show HN"; click on the unlabeled logo; and scroll around on the project's home page. I never did read the article by Kay because the intent was to demonstrate your product not sharing an article by Kay with the Hacker News community. My specific tip is still, just link to the project's home page so that people know what the project is. Put yourself in the reader's place. They don't know anything about your annotation tool. Accept that most people won't have a use for it.
