Personally I was sad when my tiny python chess engine Sunfish [1] didn't make it past the two-three upvotes stage. However about half a year later somebody else submitted it and it got a lot of traction.
I wonder how accepted it is to resubmit the same, or a version of, your project or blog post, to try your luck again.

- alextheparrot 6y agoThe FAQ guidance seems to be that a few reposts a year iff the story didn’t already get transaction is fine — seems like a good barometer. Personally, I’d prefer if someone reposted a good blog post or project rather than trying to develop new things just to have the ability to post something.
- muppetman 6y agoHa! I was just goggling furiously yesterday to remember the name of Sunfish. I had a .py called "chess.py" on a server. Not anywhere in the .py file is there a URL or a name or an email. Anyway after cutting and pasting bits of code into Google I finally turned up the github page. You should put some (basic) info into each file you've got there. Anyway Sunfish is cool, thanks.
