Ask HN: how to looking for people eval my idea

You can get away with self promotion online if you do it in a culturally sensitive way. It is worth learning the conventions in any place you want to post things.

For instance in Hacker News new users frequently don't know that links posted in the text for a submission aren't clickable. If you spent a day looking at the new page you'd do better because you'd see about ten other people make the same mistake.

If you want to submit a link to HN just submit a link. If you want to submit ten links to HN you'd better submit twenty links, ten of which are to somebody else's site! That's the way we do it.

You might say "I want to explain my page" and I'll say it is a lesson I've learned the hard way and occasionally relearn that artifacts have to be able to explain themselves. For instance I make these art objects that have a physical manifestation (stuck on my office door) and a digital manifestation, say

HTTPS://GEN5.INFO/$/WU$.D:TC:42LW1Q/

When I show them to people I find they still don't do a good job of explaining the object ("What are the Invictus games?", "Is there a physical object involved? Where is it? How can I get one?", "Why did you use characters in the URL that cause HN to not light up the URL?") so I go back to the drawing board...

there is another weird phenomena I seen on online forums.

Normally, get a not so comfort backpack should quite common, I knew lots of people try lots of backpacks and just can't get the right one. I suspect most of them is because of they pack their bag not (physically, or said in mechanically) wrong.

But I rare seen related content online, only few have issue with bruise hips. (hips!? really, how much you carry could cause bruise hips?)

I wonder if the search technology nowadays are broken (I use google, but sometimes I pay some visit to duckduckgo but get quite the same result)
