@HN: Just trying to understand why this post didn't make it to the global feed? It has accumulated decent upvotes. It's not present on the 2nd page and 3rd page as well.
As the FAQ explains (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html), it's against the rules here to get your friends or teammates to upvote. We want people to vote for a story because they ran across it and personally found it intellectually interesting, not because their friends have something to promote.

12 points is really not all that many (fewer than any of those on the front page, anyway—Edit to add: I stand corrected: there's one with 10). I don't know why it's not on the next couple of pages. For the best possible explanation you can reach out to the mods via the Contact link in the footer.
