I don't think there is a rule that your own work must be tagged with Show HN. You can opt-in to Show HN if > you've made something that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions i

I think this post is a good example of why people buy rpis: network effects. Are people writing articles like this about the competition? Especially if you're in to modding, hacking, etc the community around the product is an important
