Show HN: community members showing HN what they've built

Launch HN: YC portfolio companies showing HN what they've built, often within their batch (but can sometimes be years after they went through YC)

View on HN

marvindanig understands that, judging by their comment. But the portfolio companies used to do Show HN, just like everyone else. Lately, they've started doing Launch HN instead, so they are separate. I think the question is around why that changed.

interesting. do you have an example of a Show HN that was an YC incubated company that the time of the post? (I believe you, I just can't find one as an example).

It looks like Launch HN has been a thing for at least three years: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Excuse the pedanticism but I assume what you meant was "YC portfolio companies showing HN what they have built"

Not pedantic at all! Very confusing typo. I've fixed it.
