I wonder if there's any value in having a post to HN be, in effect, a "Draft", with a timeout of (say) half an hour. You write it up, but you have time to reconsider and edit before it "goes live" and you're (at least psychologically) committed. Perhaps you have to come back after half an hour and officially approve it? This is starting to sound like work :-)
- nchelluri 6y agoI think they already do this, with the delay setting in your profile.
- jlevers 6y agoI think this is a great idea, with one issue -- it seems to me (and I haven't looked at this quantitatively, it's just an impression) that later comments sometimes get buried, so there's an incentive to comment sooner rather than later.
- chris_st 6y agoI guess I figured that everyone would be delayed, so the relative posting time would remain the same.
