Ask PG: Could you make HN gravity gentler for "Review My Start-up" posts?

Mine too. I was simply asking an opinion for a friend of mine, and it never even made it to the 'ask' section...

maybe there is some SEO algorithm that the poster needs to embedded on his post so to be able to get bumped up? lol

Do you have a link? My previous post disappeared with very little trace (wasn't a "review" post but was tangentially startuo related). I think maybe mine was lost due to lack of clarity or relevance or interest. Maybe it wasn't clear or eye-catching enough? I'd like to see the link regardless anyway.

edit: Duh. Click the name, Sorry.

Timing is really important when you're submitting to HN. Submit at the right time, a mediocre post will shoot to the top. Submit even a pretty good post at the wrong time and two people see your submission before it plunges to the murky depths of page 3.

Might not be a bad idea to have some kind of tit-for-tat feedback thing in place. I've tried feedbackroulette, but found the quality of responses lacking.

Mutual review sound reasonable?

Mine "review my app" post is also never seen at the 'ask' section.
