That's a fair point.

At the very least, though, I think users be able to do something with a Show HN submission besides just sign up for the beta. There should be content worth building a discussion around, even if it's just a mockup or preview of features.

HN agrees with you. The rules try to address that.

> Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with.

> If your work isn't ready for people to try out yet, please don't put "Show HN" in the title.

> For example, blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they don't count as Show HNs.
