How we got to the frontpage on Hackernews

Today we managed to get on the front page of Hackernews:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37281411

Here is how we did it:

1. We worked on our message on other platforms like Reddit. With each post on Reddit, we improved the message making it easier to understand.
2. We launched at 9 am EST on a Sunday. People have more time to read and there is less competition from other posts.
3. We pointed directly to the Github page at https://github.com/exogee-technology/graphweaver and not the website https://graphweaver.com
4. We used the "Show HN:" feature.
5. We did not upvote ourselves.

This last point is crucial, we did not try to game the system or get friends to upvote.

If your message is clear and people care about what you are delivering, they will upvote.

Good Luck!
