How to get on HN front page unlimited times:<p>1. Make a Show HN intersecting coding with something uncommon<p>2. Write an article about how you got on front page with Show HN<p>3. Write an article about how you got on the front page twice<p>4. Write an article about how you got on the front page n+1 times

Didn&#x27;t actually work for most of the people in the Show HN though.

What&#x27;s the learning curve on a tool like this. I find I invest so much in learning things that are supposed to speed me up. Then find out they&#x27;re too niche to use in my day to day.

Alternatively, see <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.programmingfonts.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.programmingfonts.org&#x2F;</a><p>Missing <i>B612 Mono</i> (I prefer it to <i>Jetbrains</i>): <i>B612 is an highly legible open source font family designed and tested to be used on aircraft cockpit screens.</i><p><i>In 2010, Airbus initiated a research collaboration with ENAC and Université de Toulouse III on a prospective study to define and validate an “Aeronautical Font”: the challenge was to improve the display of information on the cockpit screens, in particular in terms of legibility and comfort of reading, and to optimize the overall homogeneity of the cockpit.</i> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;polarsys&#x2F;b612" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;polarsys&#x2F;b612</a><p>Previously on HN: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=18946601" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=18946601</a><p>re: Site presentation, I think having sample prose as well as sample code is important. Spacey code blocks are largely non-representative when it comes to typography in context. Particularly when working on the console with high density information (SQL, stringy datasets, etc.)

So it was a marketing stunt?

I would be interested in hearing more about which fonts win the most tournaments.

Final 2 were JetBrains Mono and Fira Mono for me. I chose to hide the names until the last 2. The winner was Jetbrains Mono.

Add the Hack font to this, the winning font I got (Courier Prime) I like less than half as much as I like Hack
