Show HN: The World, Your Stage (MVP Launch)

You can add your messages now; the actual posts will start being published when there are enough users.

If you're a designer, and have any thoughts on how to make it look better, let me know.

Was anybody else expect a textarea under "what will you tell the world?" UI oberservation. completely missed it at the top

I hadn't thought about that - the words "What will you tell the world?" are now a link to the "add" page

What is the picking process?

Answered in the FAQs, but in short; random chance (or the PHP rand() function).

When the number of posts are good enough to make it worth publishing, then a random post will be picked, and that user will get sent a "You're up! Make any final adjustments now" email. The only manual intervention will be to ensure that posts meet the posting guidelines (i.e. aren't spam, and aren't malicious).

What is your criteria of enough users?

Probably around the 100-200 mark - enough that I could reasonably expect to be able to put a post out every day
