I literally just posted on my blog about my adventures writing an OLED driver in MicroZig, it was a really fun little project

That's great and if you email hn@ycombinator.com in, say, a couple months*, we can send you a repost invite for it.

* i.e. enough time to flush the hivemind caches so the thread won't feel repetitive

Great, thanks!

Meta: you have typod the name of the microcontroller as RP4020 twice, might be worth fixing. Nice post, otherwise!

Edit: typos, ironically. Mobile phone text editing ~ftw.

Thanks, I'll fix that

Isn't it better just to repost with a query parameter like ?foobar ?

Oh the issue isn't a technical one. It's that once there's been a big discussion about a topic (in this case MicroZig) the community appetite for a second thread about roughly the same thing (in this case, another MicroZig thread) drops off sharply. However, if you wait long enough then it becomes fresh again and a new thread is ok. That's what I facetiously call letting the hivemind caches clear.
