Show HN Triage

Diagnose why your Show HN post gets instantly flagged

Problem

Long-time developers release open-source projects on HN only to get instantly flagged by non-human systems, with no explanation and no feedback channel. The same confusion exists on other communities, and posters can only guess and retry.

Solution

A pre-post checkup: paste your title, URL and body, and get a risk score plus rewrite suggestions based on public rules and community-reported patterns. It also offers an appeal template and a case library so users understand what tends to get misclassified and how to adjust.

Users

Indie developers and open-source maintainers launching on HN, Reddit, Product Hunt and similar communities.

MVP

Web form; heuristic scoring for title/domain/body rules; case library of commonly flagged patterns; rewrite suggestions and appeal email templates; one-click copy of revised copy.

Revenue

Free basic check plus paid case library and human review (per-use or subscription).

Why now

The flood of AI-generated content pushes platforms toward more aggressive auto-filtering, raising false-positive risk for genuine launches, so a 'pre-flight check' becomes essential.
