Experiment (YC W13) started off as a Show HN, but back then we were called Microryza. It was a very modest thing, and after somehow getting near the top of the front page, we were flooded with traffic [http://i.imgur.com/miMyx7x.png]. That traffic spike is what convinced us to quit our jobs and go all out. Show HN is definitely my favorite part of hacker news.

I loved your Microryza branding and assets. Do they still exist anywhere as a reference?

My Favorite Part: "There have been about 24,000 Show HNs so far. The first used the title "Show and Tell HN", and was GitHub-related. The second, and the first to use the "Show HN" convention [2], was a face recognition project. And the third was a Hacker News alternative. Plus ça change..."

so hacker news is splitting into subreddits. cool. (although subreddits is not the right term... ) what other future subreddits are planned?

I'd imagine that "Ask HN" would be another major sub-heading.

How about "Tell HN?" That one doesn't work yet.

Stripe launched this way: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3053883. We didn't do any press or anything like that. (We didn't think of adding the Show HN prefix, though.)

Great work! I love when organic user behaviors are recognized and made first class features. Allow me to emphasize something from the Show HN Guidelines[1]: > Be respectful.

Glad to see this. Show HN has always been my favorite part of Hacker News. Anything that can inspire more creation and help product builders find an audience, is a good thing, imo.
