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.

Neat! I'm curious as to what percent of posts made to HN are Show vs. Other.

Using the data from a previous HN analysis of all posts until Feb 2014 [1], I've found that 1.45% of all submissions are Show HN submissions. (but that only found 18,000 submissions. If you use the given 24,000 submissions and the current number of articles [1.3m], the percentage is 1.75%) I have the data loaded if you have any other Show HN questions.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing this.

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.

Nice to see you here! I don't mean to be rude, but how do you think it can impact Product Hunt?

At the risk of sounding like a stackoverflow pedant, would a hardware hack fit in Show HN? For example: Turn a raspberry pi into an FM transmitter https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7361782.

At the time I write it, the list of lists [1] doesn't have the "Show HN".

As the creator (and neglector) of one of the more popular bastions of people interested in just Show HNs (showinghn.com), I think this is a good move. If anyone has any ideas of what other sort of value I could provide with showinghn.com, feel free to let me know.

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

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

I'd think 'Show' and 'Tell' should be filtered into the same feed.

I was thinking that "show" would be about the submitter's own, new project and "tell" would be about old things that everyone should know or PSAs. But maybe you're right.
