Tell HN: HN Is Wrong

7•npguy•17m ago
Here is a quick Show HN story.

Inspired by Alex Karpathy's HackerTube, i spent time, effort and tokens on analyzing Show HN posts - 200K plus posts, and a million plus comments, identifying trends, patterns, reactions etc.

I spent some time on designing the app too, and it felt very good because it was a 'HN community only' thing.

Then i submitted it to HN, and got zero upvotes. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50396822. I was so sure there is some value here, that I submitted it again (from a different userid and from the same userid) but looks like the URL is banned now.

What do I do now? I have a tool that is built only for HN, it is a free tool and imo gives a set of insights based on Show HN posts, I don't have any audience anywhere so I cannot 'show' anywhere else.

The irony is this: i found the most value in the tool i built, in the 'HN is wrong' area. I find myself there now!

you can check out the tool at hackershow dot org. if you see this, that is. And if someone chooses to resubmit this tool as a Show HN, please submit the 'HN is wrong' part of the tool, lets make it exciting!

Water wet. Of course HN is wrong more than it’s right. What the echo chamber gives in hyper tech focus, it takes away the same. Your place is to continue to contribute value when you can, while extracting value in what is of interest to you, despite HN.

We're bringing back the HN meeting in Mexico City
