How do you mean this is your first MVP?
Looking at your post history, it seems you have been doing similar projects for many years:

What am I missing?
- folli 5y agoBenefit of the doubt: his last post was approx. 2 years ago, so it's possible to have two kids in the meantime and this is the first time since becoming a father to get an MVP out of the door. Quite the accomplishment, I know how it feels...
- mrhichem 5y agoYes, thank you for your comment. I feel guilty saying it is my first MVP, but it truly is, as a father. I wish HN allowed changing post titles so I can replace "first" by just an MVP
- Sammi 5y agoAh, so the accurate title is: I have finally finished my first MVP as a father with 2 kids and a 9-5 job
- mrhichem 5y agoThis is true. Previous projects are dead and were hobby projects just for fun. I see also some of my previously used domain names are being reused by someone else.
- PeterBarrett 5y agoI can't see how that's relevant to him asking for feedback, you're being needlessly pedantic.

- TekMol 5y agoMy motivation to ask is: 1: I really want to understand it. Why does someone say they "finally finished their first MVP" when they already have been doing Show HNs for similar projects for years? 2: I am a bit afraid that we will see an arms race of emotionalized Show HNs if it turns out that these get more upvotes. I wonder if this site would have gotten as many upvotes if it left out the "9-5 job and 2 kids" part. I think it is worth asking if we should allow sensationalized / emotionalized titles for Show HNs at all.
- infinitezest 5y agoFWIW, I had the same reaction. The post title does literally nothing to describe the actual project, only some tangentially related circumstances under which the thing was developed.
