- DANmode 11mo agoHN frontpage hardly requires being viral. Just genuine intrigue from a select few.
- Retric 11mo agoIt’s still way easier the first time. The 50th time someone comes to the same conclusion nobody on HN is going to upvote the topic.
- vbezhenar 11mo agoDid you ever visit `https://news.ycombinator.com/newest https://news.ycombinator.com/newest` page? Like 99% of submitted topics are never seen by anyone but few wanderers.
- DANmode 11mo agoOften. 95%+ of submitted topics have poorly formatted titles, are submitted at off-peak times where there’s less users of demographics who might upvote, and if your Show HN isn’t as widely applicable as this, those things might be important to think about. Fairness aside, of course.
- chairmansteve 11mo agoI prefer the "New" page. Much more random.
- ghurtado 11mo ago> HN frontpage hardly requires virility. As far as I can tell, it doesn't require femininity either. I'm guessing you meant "virality"
- DANmode 11mo agoSure did, thanks.
