I'm not sure what makes a Show HN do well or not, but other than the name putting me off the idea looks interesting - I just don't have the technical nous or time to unpick it.

My issue these days is that I always just think "is it well made, well thought out code, or 15 lines of prompt and hopeful thinking?" I feel like provenance is now more important than ever.

I expected a GIS (geographic information system, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_information_system) and was left very confused. What even is a GIS here?

Looks like your Show HN yesterday? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46662841

yeah, i was too bored this weekend and wanted some feedback on thing i was working on but it did not get that much traction.

Anyway i don't think this kind of idea has been tried that much. there are projects that try to wrap existing project in docker/helm thing but this is platform solely built for running apps, means platform give ton of stuff (auth,file management, websocket etc etc) and core app logic is really small (look at server.lua file).

this is thinking from of normal people (not tech enthusiast running homelab or what not) being able to run server apps with same ease as they install apps from playstore in their phone. (atleast that's the idea)

You can email us at hn@ycombinator.com for advice on your Show HN. We can comment on whether we think it will be interesting to the audience and give feedback on your intro post. It's better to do that than post multiple projects to HN within a short timespan, as your chance of success will be influenced more by effort and substance than luck.

It reminds me of https://sandstorm.org/
