How is this a Show HN?
> 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.
This cannot be tried out, except in the way that any website can be "tried out".
- hemmert 4y agoOh, I wasn't aware of that! I thought that Show HN was for anything that I had made. I also wanted to invite people to discuss this with me (as the artist), but I could have disclosed that in the first comment, too, of course.
- gnicholas 4y agoIt's a bit narrower than that, otherwise folks could post Show HNs for links to their photo galleries, blogs, etc. You can post these things, but they're supposed to be posted as regular links, not with the enticing "Show HN" prepended. The Show HN rules are here: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
- superb-owl 4y agoHonestly I disagree. I can engage with the art here same as I can with a clickable app. I think it fits with the spirit of Show HN
