Show HN Launch Post
Write a Show HN post that respects the audience: builders who punish hype and reward specifics. PRODUCT Name: [NAME] URL: [URL] One sentence: [WHAT IT DOES] Who it is for: [USER] What I built it with: [STACK] What is technically interesting or hard: [DETAIL] What it does not do yet: [LIMITS] Pricing: [FREE | PRICE | OPEN SOURCE — LICENSE] Traction that is real: [NUMBER OR "launched today, no metrics"] Ask: [FEEDBACK ON X | USERS FOR Y] OUTPUT 1) Title in Show HN form: "Show HN: [Name] – [plain description under ~80 characters]". Give 3 options. No "revolutionary", no emoji. 2) Post body, 180–280 words: - What it is, in the first two lines - The problem as I hit it, one concrete story - How it works, including one implementation choice and why - What is incomplete - What I want comments on (a specific question, not "thoughts?") 3) A first-comment reply I can post if someone asks "how is this different from [CLOSEST TOOL]?" — fair, short, no sneer. 4) A list of 5 claims in the draft that would get called out, with the sentence to delete or source. Do not open with a funding announcement. Do not ask for upvotes.
