So, this to me is interesting. I did a ShowHN today at around the same time as this, but it gets little to no views, but I followed the rules. This doesn't seem to follow the rules at all: " 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. " This is just a medium post, no actual product, but it then makes the front page. Seems like the only way to actually get traction on ShowHN is to not follow the rules and actually ask people you know (or users of your site) to generate discussion/ up vote it. Mine didn't even make it to the actual ShowHN, just got stuck in the Show New.
