Ask HN: Questions about Show HN (traffic, lessons, etc.)

Hey guys,

When you guys post a Show HN, what kind of responses do you get? In particular:

1. Do you see a spike of traffic, or not so much? 2. Is the traffic you do see relevant traffic? (Are the visitors engaging?) 3. Do you get follow up advice on top of the comments posted here? 4. Was this part of your "marketing strategy?"

I'm sure there may be some good questions I missed, please feel free to add them below. I'm mainly asking to see if one has to do any prep/minor scaling work before hand in preparation for show and tell.

Thanks!
