His second main takeaway: > If your post doesn’t gain traction on Hacker News initially, delete it and try posting another day. This probably holds true for sites like Reddit as well. Which makes me a little uneasy..
why?
Spam works. But it's still spam.
Please add push notifications? If you log in, and no one is around, the app gets closed pretty quickly. I have checked back multiple times, and always seem to miss everyone chatting. I would love to know if someone close by is online or chatting, so that I don't have to sit there hoping someone sees my tepid 'Hello?'.

I just wish that people would visit more and write more. Obviously the problem is that there isn't much going on actively on the site. However, I detest the thought of spamming every facebook groups and such. I tried organically growing by writing really…
You probably need to make the site appear more active, until there's enough interesting content to keep visitors there a while and encourage them to post.
Users.all.count made me cringe.
what would you use ?
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "users"
SELECT "users".* FROM "users"

It's promoting repeated posting of the same article in attempts to get lucky. It borders in the grey area of spam. Spam works. But it's still spam.
It might be worth pushing this article up on the subreddit for marketing.
