Show HackerNews is a Crapshoot
Show HackerNews is a public forum on HackerNews.com where people share their side hustles, coding projects, blogs, etc.
It's a total crapshoot. Some posts go viral, some get no notice at all.
Check out what happened when the creator of Flowful posted nearly the same post twice in 6 days:
The first try from 8 days ago was a dud. The second went nearly viral.

The takeaway? If at first you don't succeed, try try again!
My own post in Show HN today completely flopped. I'll try again soon! :)
This is not just with HackerNews but all type of public platform.
Some videos doesn't perform when you post for sometime. But coincidentally you post at the when engagement is peak or matches with correct audience then it starts getting traction.
The site doesn't load - headlamp site I mean
Hmmm.. it’s up now, give it another try? HTTPS://HeadlampTest.com
I just re-posted with a new title. Fingers crossed for good results this time!
Look for:
Show HackerNews
Very interesting, I’m going to be posting my project on there soon. I wonder if there’s a certain day or time of day where you’ll perform better?
Is it allowed to post the same thing multiple times? I got silenced by posting the same link twice🤔
You are.
that says that the moderators can invite you to repost...or am I reading it wrong?
