Plan a credible Hacker News launch

Match the right Hacker News moment and prepare a Show HN or comment that fits the community — substance first, drafted for you to post when the timing is right.

The problem

Hacker News can put a product in front of thousands of builders, but it reliably punishes anything that reads as marketing. The outcome here is a credible presence: BIU finds the moments where you can genuinely contribute and prepares a substantive Show HN or comment, so your launch lands as participation, not a pitch.

What BIU works from

The inputs behind this outcome — BIU reads real signals, never invents them.

  • Hacker News front page and new stories
  • Technical relevance to your product and positioning
  • Community culture signals and discussion tone

How it works, end to end

The outcome unfolds as ranked Growth Actions you approve — from the signal to the completed work.

  1. 1

    Match the moment

    Technical relevance

    BIU watches Hacker News for stories where your product or a problem you solve is directly relevant — not just keyword-adjacent.

  2. 2

    Weigh fit and risk

    Culture + risk

    Each match is scored on community fit and risk, because HN rewards substance and penalizes thinly-veiled promotion — low-substance angles rank down.

  3. 3

    Prepare and post

    You approve + post

    BIU drafts two angles — a substantive comment or a Show HN / Ask HN post — with timing and credibility notes. You post manually when it feels right.

Plan a credible Hacker News launch — questions

Will BIU post my Show HN for me?

No. It drafts the Show HN or comment and leaves the posting and timing to you, from your own account.

How does it respect HN culture?

It scores each angle for community fit and substance. Low-substance, promotional drafts are flagged and ranked down, because HN reliably penalizes them.

When should I post?

BIU includes timing and credibility notes with each draft, but the call is yours — you post when the moment feels right for your launch.
