This is sort of obvious. Do you really expect that the OP didn't know that?

Half of the top Show HN posts are about FLOSS software. In the other half, some are not about software. So your claim is wrong.
- tptacek 2y agoYes. It's a subtle point that a lot of people have trouble with. I'm confident about what I'm saying, for a variety of reasons. "Show HN" is a category that happens to optimize for people doing open source software, but the top posts on the site generally aren't "Show HN"'s, and "open source" is absolutely not a rule of "Show HN".
