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!
