| Hey clarky07, I've reflected on your comments and have taken them onboard. Initially I considered posting the actual product site to Show HN. The Show HN guidelines state that "Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread." The product I've posted about is not something you can play with. Or maybe I've misunderstood the guidelines. Instead I thought the appropriate thing to do was to submit a post I had written about my thoughts on the product. I admit that the title is somewhat borderline, I did consult the guidelines before posting. I've re-read the guidelines and believe that I should have considered the following more carefully: "If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids." "Show HN: Jar of Fireworks - A/B Testing as a Service" would have been more appropriate I think, and would have invited less trolls." I agree with this comment and believe that I've probably done myself some disservice by taking this path instead. Thank you and I appreciate your comments. |
