Regarding your last comment, not sure if you’ve seen the info on this yet but you were incredibly close to having loads of upvotes. I think the current threshold for getting to HN’s front page is between 4 and 5 rapid upvotes. Once you clear it you suddenly get a very large set of eyeballs on your post and lots of new herd effect upvotes. It’s a little silly and sometimes frustrating but depending on how you posted it you could try again with a Show HN thread. Those have a separate section and have an even lower threshold to get onto the front page. I launched a few (mostly unsuccessfully) side projects on HN with this info. Hope it is helpful to you. P.S.: don’t try to create fake accounts to upvote your posts. They don’t work well due to solid voting ring detection built into HN and will likely just devalue your posts/upvotes in the future.
