Ask PG: Could you make HN gravity gentler for "Review My Start-up" posts?

29 pointsby badmash69over 13 years ago
I had posted a Review My Start-up type of post about 2 hours ago. It never made it; it has sunk and gone. I was looking forward for peer review of my idea.

Mine too. I was simply asking an opinion for a friend of mine, and it never even made it to the 'ask' section...<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3287202" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3287202</a><p>maybe there is some SEO algorithm that the poster needs to embedded on his post so to be able to get bumped up? lol

Do you have a link? My previous post disappeared with very little trace (wasn't a "review" post but was tangentially startuo related). I think maybe mine was lost due to lack of clarity or relevance or interest. Maybe it wasn't clear or eye-catching enough? I'd like to see the link regardless anyway.<p>edit: Duh. Click the name, Sorry.

Timing is really important when you're submitting to HN. Submit at the right time, a mediocre post will shoot to the top. Submit even a pretty good post at the wrong time and two people see your submission before it plunges to the murky depths of page 3.

Might not be a bad idea to have some kind of tit-for-tat feedback thing in place. I've tried feedbackroulette, but found the quality of responses lacking.<p>Mutual review sound reasonable?
