Ask HN: What is the best time to submit a story here on HN?
- nathanbarry 14y agoLook at the new page. If the time on the last story is at least an hour ago, then it is probably a fine time to submit. Generally you want more time on the new page (since that is your only hope to get up votes at first).
- ColinWright 14y agoThis has been discussed many times - have you searched for an answer? If you're really a hacker, why not do some research and tell us your findings. Define "best".
- anigbrowl 14y agoIt depends on the story. If it's specific to Silicon Valley, weekday mornings (Pacific Time) are often best. Political or somewhat off-topic? over the weekend. General scienceNighttime in the Pacific.
- benologist 14y agoThe best time is when you find something interesting that the community might like. The worst time is optimized for treating HN like it's just a traffic source.
- alincatalin0199 14y agoYou're right - but what happens when you have something interesting that the community might like - but there's no one to online to vote it up so that everyone see it!
