Well, now I'm embarrassed. Thanks for the heads up!
I assume that the submission must be a final draft, right? That is, writers need to bring their own editor and such to make sure it's polished by the time it gets submitted?
...does my submission necessarily have to be prose? I like to dabble in poetic verse every once in awhile.
Also, do I get bonus points if my submission is actually purple?
"Show HN is a way to share something that you've made on Hacker News."
I made this site, but if you're also interested in submitting...
> Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread.
> A Show HN needn't be complicated or look slick. The community is comfortable with work that's at an early stage.
> If your work isn't ready for people to try out yet, please don't do a Show HN. Once it's ready, come back and do it then.
> Blog posts, sign-up pages, and fundraisers can't be tried out, so they can't be Show HNs.
