How I Got 78 Criticisms on Show HN

Launched Remotehour on Hacker News, Product Hunt, and BeteList. As a result 82 points and 78 comments on HN, and 295 votes on PH. It felt so amazing that a lot of people across the world visited my website and say hi to me. I have written about it on Hacker Noon.

    Congratulations on all the useful feedback!

    Just a note about word choice. I assumed that "78 criticisms" meant you got a lot of dislike and disapproval. That was my impression from the title, but I realized reading the post that you meant differently.

    "Criticism" does have two meanings if you look it up - "expression of disapproval" and also "analysis of merits and faults". You want the second meaning, but you don't know that it will be interpreted that way. I suggest that to avoid ambiguity, use "constructive criticisms" or "critiques".

      Thank you so much for your feedback @wavehopper I'll try to fix it!
