Is in them
- pvg 2y agoIt just isn't the case that you can't have a Show HN without signups - it's preferable for the friction-to-try be as low as possible but sometimes 'as low as possible' is, in the given context, still a fair bit of friction. Lots of Show HN's are in very early stages and unpolished, some use finicky/newish technologies, etc. If this particular one is too much of a hassle and you bounce off, that's fine but the suggestion the poster is breaking some sort of rule here is inaccurate.
- cchance 2y agowhat hoops? i clicked, play .. play now and got in... it crashed, on Arc (osx) but it started to load and i saw people moving around
- Kiro 2y agoYou click "Play now" and you're in the game. That's less friction than most Show HNs. You’re misinterpreting the rules and being overly zealous for no reason.
- Perenti 2y agoNo "Play now" button on Firefox for me, only "Sign up" and "Log in". No corporate webpages, only anti-social media links to invite people. No "FAQ", "About" etc links. Not human friendly.
