I just saw this. yep, totally promoted my project instead of following this guideline.


Hi Paddy! Hmm - I'm not sure. Are you talking about https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38424478? That doesn't seem to have had significant attention on HN yet. It's an open source project. It might be fine in this thread.

Whatever the line is, it's still gelatinous. We want to figure it out in a way that optimizes the thread for interestingness, which means avoiding repetition and prioritizing the long tail of projects that probably wouldn't get discussed in other contexts on HN.
