undefined | Better HN

How did you find my post? Are you a moderator? The post was visible to me but it didn't show up on the news feed.

Ask HN is what I intended. I wanted to gauge the level of interest before jumping to the full reveal. I'm still not ready to release the latest version of my proxy server (which is quite a major update), partly because I wasn't able to get the feedback that I was looking for. The feedback is important because I've been working on this project for over two years and I still have no idea what sort of response I should expect (I have never seriously tried to promote it).

Also, my "general" page IS the project because there is more than one moving part.

P.S. How long do I have to wait when HN starts telling me to slow down? I've posted 5 times which doesn't seem excessive.

I am a common user.

I have set "showdead=1", the choice is there as some people may want to not see at all the dead posts, while some other people may want to see them anyway.

You asked a few questions and I gave you some answers, according to my experience.

The page you provided as link, very likely was seen as a confusing mishmash of several projects, IMHO you should (in your next post) give some more info, the very little info that is on that page:

>Kraker Local Proxy Server is a tiny server based on Node.js which is a popular open-source web server development platform. The server is used by Alleycat Player to access websites which would normally be inaccessible due to browser cross-origin restrictions. This is fully explained in the installation instructions.

>A recent upgrade provides an additional feature. This is a Socks5 tunnel proxy which you can use with your web browser to select your preferred DNS provider or to bypass the DNS altogether. You can also access the Tor Network automatically for ".onion" links. This requires installing the Tor Browser or the stand-alone Tor client.

needs to be looked for, and many people won't take the time to scroll and find it.

You should (still IMHO) expand the info and place (a copy of) it on the actual project page:

https://8chananon.github.io/Alleycat-Player/current/download...

which is the URL that you should post a link to.

Thank you. I will carefully consider your advice.
