- rubymamis 3y agoI would lay off if I saw my comments get downvoted, but they always get upvoted (many times to the top). Many people reply that they've never heard of it and eager to try it out. I never spam, I always reply to comments/submissions that have direct relevance to my app. Either when speaking about the same category (note-taking apps) or discussing different GUI frameworks. Plus, the quite large influx of people signing up for the wait list shows me it's a net positive. EDIT: I see people have been downvoting the parent comment since you posted this, so I'm getting the hint. Thanks for letting me know, everybody. I'll comment less frequently in that manner.
- LaundroMat 3y agoYour net positive is not HN's net positive. There could very well be a 100 annoyed readers for every sign-up to your waiting list. I'm not judging you, nor saying you shouldn't post about your app anymore. This is just a general observation that applies to all online marketing. But I do want to make this observatioj which applies to all online marketing:
- rubymamis 3y agoI've been very sensitive to the upvotes my posts get. I don't think any of my comments have been negatively downvoted. Doesn't it seem like a fair measure? I also always reply when I have something relevant to say, related to the conversation. Specifically, in this thread, this note-taking app (VNote) is built using Qt C++. Same tech stack as my note-taking app (Plume). So I think it's very relevant to share another app built with the same tech stack but offer a more performant/advanced way of rendering the underlying markdown/plaintext without using webviews.
