It's a for-profit app being posted here to get free advertising. Other people jumping on to get free advertising too is fair game and definitely the HN norm.
Besides, I always bookmark threads for apps that look interesting and check back later when everyone else has posted their similar apps and been commented on, then I can compare and choose whichever one looks best (or whichever is open source).
- Sai_ 4y agoI can see your point of view. Personally, if I find that my app is similar to an ongoing Show HN, I like to wait for an opening where I can respond with a plug for my own app. I don't feel comfortable talking up my own app unprompted. Feels like making a big attention grabbing announcement at someone else's wedding.
