What it is

The Hacker News section for things you made that others can try right now. Rules are strict: working software, hardware with video, or books with sample chapters. Blog posts, landing pages, sign-up walls, newsletters, fundraisers and minor version bumps are off-topic.

Why it earns a slot

Brutally honest technical feedback plus real traffic, for free. Also the quickest way to discover whether your AI-generated app falls over under load or ships an obvious security hole.

Know before you commit

The audience is hostile to thin AI wrappers, forced signups and demos behind a paywall. Asking friends to upvote is detected and gets the post killed.
