Hacker News — Show HN

Show HN is the Hacker News convention for sharing something you built. It is not a directory listing: you post the product yourself, the community votes and comments, and discussion decides how much visibility it gets.

Posting is free and immediate, but it requires an account and the post is subject to community moderation rather than editorial review. Outbound links are nofollow, so the payoff is qualified traffic and blunt technical feedback rather than SEO value.

The audience is developers, technical founders and investors, and the estimated 539,100 monthly organic visits sit behind a DR 91 domain. Promotional posts without technical substance tend to be rejected by the community, so lead with what the product does and how it works.
