Hi Friend - I tried that yesterday and it didn't get any upvotes so sent it out as a newsletter. I don't know what dang thinks of replacing the link once it's on the front page. Happy to do it (or have him replace it). (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39133955)

Figgie was discussed very recently, which is probably why it didn't get any upvotes. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38679078

Oh - didn't see that! Thanks. Forgot to check https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=figgie.com before I submitted it. Good catch (and has gone on my notes to double check before submitting)

You are absolutely owed upvotes on your special post. It says a lot about the state of the world and society in general that your first time posting didn’t get the upvotes you think it should have.

I applaud, starting with a slow clap and transitioning to uproarious applause, your smart trick of hacking the system by sending out a newsletter devoid of content to ensure people saw your content got the upvotes it deserved, and salute your magnanimity in this follow up post.

Be honest. You’re just upset there weren’t more dongz in their posts.
