This is not a Show HN. Please read the rules:

https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html




I'm a bit confused. I would characterize this as documentation which can't really be "tried out". From the rules:

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

It's hosted on Github but I don't think that in and of itself should put it in the Show HN category. Do you think it belongs in Show HN because it's self promotional?

Thoughts?


I had posted stuff in the past that got to the front page and it was pretty much the same sort of thing - hosted on GitHub, forkable, starrable. I don't see what the rule is behind not being able to prefix something you made that you want to show HN as a Show HN. Oh well.


Because otherwise the category would be too broad to be interesting. You and I just made comments but they're obviously not 'Show HN'. It has to be something people can try that has (figurative) moving parts.


Yeah. Doesn't bother me one way or the other. I was just confused.

Great list btw.


Oh, I didn't know "Show HN"'s had to be "demo-able". Can you please just remove title and not remove from front page?
