At the end of my working day yesterday, I took 2 or 3 minutes to post on HackerNews. This was my first try and I was a bit scared to introduce Ninja Cookie to this huge community. But I've read a lot and lot of hackers wrote they need to try more than once to get their article or product in front page. Well... I just have to try and see. I guess my first try will be a huge fail...
I've wrote a true but punchy description of Ninja Cookie ("Get rid of cookie popups/warnings/banners") with a link to my website. I didn't take time to write a big article with sources and quotes. You know, this post was just a funny try for me. And I've submit.
What a surprise when I came back, about 1 hour later after a sport training session! Upvotes, comments and more than 1000 new visitors in the website! In fact, Ninja Cookie was in the front page of HackerNews! :)
What I learned ? No need to wait and wait and wait. You have to introduce to the world your project. And you don't need to take hours to write an incredible article. If your product meets a need, it will find its audience quite easily.
