this is really cool and I think it feel like how show HN should be instead of marketing ploy for other orgs pushing their product.

- hsbauauvhabzb 3y agoI love this type of stuff too, but be aware ycombinator is a start up incubator - people showing off there wares is presumably encouraged, up to a point.
- yellow_lead 3y agoIt is and the leaders of yc even give instructions on how to best do their "launch hn."
- debarshri 3y agoLaunch and Show HN are different I think.
- mathgeek 3y agoDo you get the impression that novel shows are pushed out by the more corporate ones?
- debarshri 3y agoIf you see here [1], many of them are building by orgs trying to sell some services. They may or may not violate the guidelines though. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/show https://news.ycombinator.com/show
- fouc 3y agoyeah and that's why interesting show HNs get upvoted
- matheusmoreira 3y agoI don't think it qualifies as advertising. People come to Hacker News to see what hackers are working on. It's certainly a major reason why I come here. Every Show HN post I've seen was interesting. Motivated me to start my own projects and polish them so I can show them here. It's a really good feeling when someone else submits your work and you get to talk about it.

- matheusmoreira 3y agoI know, I've never made a Show HN post myself. I meant to say other people independently submitted my project here once.
