On the "Show HN" page that shows all the Show HNs, there is a link in the top to the rules for Show HN, in case you've missed it. It's pointing to https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html TLDR is: > Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread. > Off topic: blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can't be tried out, so can't be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead.
