I don’t know, if OP had included it I would have been suspicious this whole post was just an excuse to push the app. Not mentioning it made the question genuine.
A bit of a catch 22...
A bit of a catch 22...
When I did manage to get a "Show HN" post to the front page (with admin assistance) the link was in the title. Interest in the library was ... muted.
I've come to realise that spamming my library across HN is never going to bring it the recognition it deserves. So I've decided to move on to spamming the link across Twitter and Reddit instead.
How's that going? Isn't Twitter mostly bots retweeting other bots?
Yes. When a human retweets one of my tweets I treat myself to chocolate.
The ones that get retweeted most are the ones linking to Codepen demos, rather than my library's landing page. This tweet[1] (linking to a "Pixellate a realtime webcam feed"[2] demo) managed to attract 7 bots and 2 humans!
