Hacker News Content Generation

Before You Start

Understand HN culture: Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com) is a community driven by intellectual curiosity and technical depth. It is run by Y Combinator and attracts founders, engineers, researchers, and technically sophisticated readers. The community is allergic to marketing, superlatives, and hype.
Determine post type:
- Show HN: Sharing something you have built for community feedback
- Ask HN: Asking the community a question
- Standard submission: Sharing a link to content (your own or someone else's)
Check for brand voice: Read brand/VOICE.md if it exists, then heavily adapt it using hn-voice.md. HN has the strictest voice requirements of any platform. Marketing language of any kind will get the post flagged, downvoted, or ignored.
