Since this thread has been extremely popular, is there a possibility to make this a regular monthly thread, similar to "Who wants to be hired"?
- dang 6y agoYes, that has been on my mind for a while and this thread could hardly be a clearer indicator. What should it be called? What day should it go out?
- justinjc 6y agoPerhaps: Ask HN: What are you making?
- bizzleDawg 6y agoSomething side-project specific might be better, lest it becomes a list of pitches!
- ermir 6y agoIf you do make it monthly, my recommendation is posting it on the 15th of every month, to stagger it with the other regular threads. This way you don't make the start of the month a scramble of postings.
- dang 6y agoFor sure it should be counter-cyclical with Who Is Hiring, but I was wondering if maybe it would be good to put on weekends.
- ermir 6y agoMondays could also work, since it would allow people an extra weekend to finish what they want to show. Also it will allow them to procrastinate at work.
- Balgair 6y agoI'd say the Saturday after the paycheck closest to the 15th. People on bi-weekly pay schedules have funds again and it's counter cyclical to the 'Who's Hiring' threads. The list of bi-weekly paychecks for 2020 is here: https://www.nfc.usda.gov/Publications/Forms/1217n_20.pdf https://www.nfc.usda.gov/Publications/Forms/1217n_20.pdf Meaning that June's thread should be on the 20th. July on the 18th. August on the 15th. September on the 12th. October on the 10th.
- nikivi 6y agoSunday seems like a good day
- iforgotpassword 6y agoSecond or third Sunday, evening.
- dang 6y agoSunday might be good because then the question "what are you working on" is associated with what you might be working on over the weekend, i.e. things you're doing for curiosity, fun, or obsession, rather than a workaday job.
- saadalem 6y agoIt reminds me of Idea sunday / Project weekend or something like that
- dang 6y agoIdea sunday never worked very well. A thread about things people are actually working on should be more interesting.
- dreamer7 6y agoHow about at the end of every month? So, people who start working on something new at the beginning of the month are ready to talk about their projects
