My last post was about what I’m working on. We had just launched, and I was excited to hear some feedback.
Full of anticipation, I used the prefix `Launch HN` in the title and clicked Submit.
After rereading the post, I noticed the title was wrong. It said `Show HN: ... `instead of `Launch HN: ....`
I assumed I had made a mistake, so I edited the post and changed the title back to `Launch HN`.
I pressed Submit again—only for it to revert to Show HN.
After repeating this a few times, deleting the post, and submitting it again, I finally realized it wasn’t me.
It was HN.
I’m glad I learned something new about Hacker News and the etiquette today. I’ll keep going, and eventually I’ll be able to post something that someone else wants to see.
For now, I’ll just take a quick look at what’s new on HN and call it a day.
