Yep, hide new accounts except to higher karma users is an easy win.

But very gatekeepy. New accounts are already highlighted and get mercilessly reported and downvoted if they post spam.

Maybe just hide them if they post GitHub links.

I've loved some of the vibe coded apps that are hosted somewhere that have made the front page, but a lot of the links to GitHub projects intended to farm stars for throwaway portfolio padding (which often don't work).

Egh. No silver bullet here.

As someone who has posted a couple of Show HNs that went to GitHub, I'd have to respectfully disagree. :) We are sharing language libraries, so GH makes the most sense. You can get the library and sample apps there.
