I'm a little jealous : 60Mo software for drawing 1 curve get 35 votes in 2 hours when my "show HN" get 2 upvotes in one day for a full drawing software.

Perhaps you should post again? I would expect upvote behaviour to be quite arbitrary sometimes.

I will maybe do it in 6 months or one year. I don't want to spam HN.

I think the right algorithm for something you put a lot of effort in (like I did for Shadergif):

1. Post on HN.

2. If upvotes <= 3: Post the next day. Maybe you did not get the attention you deserved. Try tweaking the landing page a bit. Maybe you can change the title, add more screenshots of your UI on the landing page.

3. Iterate on your product or work on a new one, but don't post a similar thing again for 6 months.

true, but also open software it more exciting for some people

I'd try your software if you made a Linux release.
