Launch on Hacker News the way builders do
Hacker News rewards plain, honest launches. The Hacker News Agent drafts your Show HN from three angles so you can see which story to tell. Hacker News asks for text you write yourself, so the post you submit is yours.
- How often
- When you ask
- What you get
- 3 Show HN versions
- Plan
- Growth
Three honest ways to tell your story, to choose from
Three angles
One leads with the problem, one with the outcome, one with how you built it. Pick the one that sounds most like you.
Titles that fit
Every title starts with "Show HN:" and stays within 80 characters, the way Hacker News expects.
What to cover
Short drafts of 80 to 150 words that show what HN readers look for: what you built, why, and how, with marketing words taken out.
When to post
Timing advice and a reminder to stay and answer comments for the first couple of hours.

You write and post it
Pick the angle, then write the post in your own words and submit it from your own account. HN's guidelines ask you not to post generated text.
Nothing happens behind your back
- It never posts on Hacker News. You write and submit the post yourself.
- The drafts are for choosing an angle and checking what to cover, not for pasting.
- It runs only when you ask, never on a schedule.
Nothing to connect
Nothing to connect. Use the drafts to choose your angle, then write and post your Show HN yourself.
Questions
Does it post to Hacker News?
No. You post from your own account, and you should be there to answer comments.
Can I paste a draft straight into Hacker News?
No. Hacker News's guidelines say not to put generated text in HN posts. Use the drafts to choose an angle and check what to cover, then write the post yourself.
What makes a good Show HN?
Something people can try, explained plainly by the person who built it. Read our guide on writing a Show HN post for the rules and a template.
Does it run every day?
No. It runs only when you ask.
Which plan includes it?
Growth.
