I don't think it's shallow to not want to give my e-mail address out as a favor to someone I do not know. I would love to see something like this in the HN gui

I would love to see something like this in the HN guidelines (not that anybody reads those, but...)
- bramgg 12y agoIt is already. From the Show HN Guidelines[0]: > Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread. > A Show HN needn't be complicated or look slick. HN users are comfortable with work that's at an early stage. > If your work isn't ready for people to try out yet, please don't put "Show HN" in the title. Once it's ready, come back and share it then. > For example, blog posts, email signups, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they don't count as Show HNs.
