People tend to post about the constraints involved in building their product e.g. boostrapped single founder, weekend project, used xyz new framework, etc... What do you think of the game? :)

  Which constraint is being a HS student? It's like saying "Hey guys, I have no bills or kids!". My only problem is if these projects start filling up the front page based on merit besides the project itself.

    It often means no formal education and less experience.

Of the four times I know this occurred three were related to makegameswithus and the other was prompted by the other three. It is a trend but not a wholly organic one.

It's a new trend because then everyone discusses their age, and keeps the app bumped to the top. It's the secret to getting your Show HN seen by lots of people. Otherwise, you end up with 4 votes: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4744508 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4744508 :)
