Prepare a factual Show HN draft from a GitHub release.
Use S2P to draft a Hacker News title and Show HN text from a GitHub release, written in the plain, factual tone the community expects before you submit manually.
Write the way HN expects
Drafts use plain, factual language because hype and marketing tone get flagged and downvoted.
Follow Show HN conventions
S2P prepares a 'Show HN:' title and a brief first comment explaining what you built and why.
Keep submission manual
Hacker News is review-first, so a person submits the link and picks the timing.
Norms
Hacker News rewards substance and punishes hype.
HN readers downvote promotional language fast, and titles must be accurate and unsensational, so S2P treats it as a careful, manual channel rather than automated distribution.
Title discipline
No clickbait, no emoji, no all-caps. Drafts follow HN's accurate, understated title conventions.
Show HN framing
For launches, S2P drafts a 'Show HN:' title plus a short comment on what it does and why it exists.
Factual first comment
Drafts prepare a brief, honest explanation that invites real discussion instead of selling.
Workflow
Draft from the release, submit by hand.
S2P speeds the writing by pulling facts from the GitHub release, while link submission, timing, and replying to comments stay fully in your control.
- Draft an accurate, unsensational title from the release.
- Prepare a short Show HN comment explaining the project honestly.
- Review and submit the link manually at the right time.
- Keep the HN thread reference attached to the source release.
