What HN said

What people liked

  • Brings attention to Show HN posts that otherwise disappear

    From 1 comment
    • I think Hacker News needs to do more to highlight Show HNs. Lots of them just disappear without trace and with no-one commenting on them. So I like what you have done. It brings…

  • Useful concept, clear way to see maker info

    From 2 comments
    • Like the concept. I would like to see - github stars - Email me option. Say once a week top 50 projects, sorted by points / github stars

    • Great ideas. I would sign up for the newsletter in a heartbeat. I subscribe to many newsletters by Cooperpress (Javascript Weekly etc) and the weekly "best of js" rankings, and…

Objections

  • Some Show HN projects are missing from the list

    From 1 comment
    • My Show HN projects aren't there. I'm not sure they ever appeared on https://news.ycombinator.com/show either. The HN FAQ says that all you have to do is prefix the title with…

  • Show HN feed is full of spam

    From 1 comment
    • I tend to browse https://news.ycombinator.com/shownew at least a couple of times a week and it's always full of spam. Some comes from green-colored accounts (newly created), some…

Requests

  • Add top-level comments from posters to detail view

    From 1 comment
    • Just as you did here most people who submit a Show HN give a short description of what they did in a comment. I think it would be a good addition to include the posters top level…

  • Permalinks for each Show entry

    From 1 comment
    • Good work, thanks. I feel bad saying "why don't you" when I'm not willing to PR it myself but ... it would be really good if each "Show" had a permalink so you could send a link…

  • Clearer table layout and filter hover states

    From 1 comment
    • Perhaps rearrange account tags so that the HN acc info comes last. Every entry on your list has it, so it will arrange itself into a column across all entries. Edit #1 - in fact,…

Questions

  • Why do some Show HN posts not appear in the dashboard

    • https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21037167 certainly would have. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19559444 might not have. All Show HNs go to /shownew, but there's a small…

  • Does /shownew get meaningful traffic compared to /show

    From 2 comments
    • I wonder if there's a substantial number of users that visit /shownew or if votes on new Show HN posts come purely from /newest before the post qualifies for /show. Maybe putting…

    • I am sure /shownew gets substantially less visits than /show. And /show does not get many. I wouldn't be surprised if the main way that Show HNs end up on the home page is…

    • You guys know about https://news.ycombinator.com/show, right?

    • It's linked in the tagline of OP's tool, so I guess they are aware of it. The benefit seems to be that it's decorated with some additional information like Github and Twitter…
