- Title: Show HN: I built a tool that helps predict HN front page success

- URL: https://wannalaunch.com/

Only gave you a 49 out of 100. And gave this advice: `Consider adding a parenthetical. Top Show HN titles often include one: "(written in Rust)", "(open source)", "(YC W25)".`

Show HN

100/100

Heh, I'll add a few:

- Apple finds LLMs can't [blank]: +100 points

- Something AI something bad / makes you stupid / can't think / losing your touch: +200 points

- Something spaceman bad: +30 flags in 10 minutes

- Something simple but sounding modern (1992): +1000 points

This seems to mention the score and how likely something is to be on the frontpage, none of those things would mean "success" to me.

The value from Show HN isn't from the eyeballs, your website analytics reaching higher than before or the score of the HN submission, the value sits in the conversations and discussions you'll end up having in the comments, how you think about all of those things afterwards and what you end up acting on.

There are few communities where you can (hopefully constructively) criticize a project and also receive proper criticism of your project, usually backed by real arguments rather than just emotional pleas, HN is one of these, and I'd say Show HN is the place where you can really receive good and actionable feedback as long as you're also able to look past and ignore the less thoughtful comments.

Good game.

I doubt it will. From everything I have posted, it's quite random what sparks peoples interest. It really depends on many factors such as what the topics where in the last weeks and on current events.
