Show HN: From SF to Tokyo - My App Went Worldwide in 1 Week

• minimaxir 13y ago
  There needs to be a clear guideline for how to use Show HN in submissions: should it be used to showcase a cool project, or should it be used as a form of Hacker News-friendly SEO for veiled product announcements? After all, OP submitted a link without the Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6686207 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6686207

    I acutally thought this was a cool project, the map and layout that is, but maybe that's just me

      I wish to see Popcorn on Android. I think it's cool idea.

    i had to submit that link originally because the site wasn't mobile friendly, now it is

    First, the link you point to is to a blog post about the growth and the fact that it is world wide after only being available for a short amount of time. Second, the current link the OP posted is the interactive map he created to help visualize where his app is being utilized which, in my opinion, is worth having a separate link from his blog post. I enjoyed seeing the map and seeing where his app is being used. I see nothing wrong with what the OP has done.

  Worked pretty well for me on a phone.
