Ask HN: How to post on Show HN without getting tagged as dupe

Show HN is not a guarantee that it will be picked up by users every single time. Your last submission was a few days ago and it didn’t land with users that time.

In your initial submission three months ago you said you are struggling with getting users. I would work on changing this mindset so you don’t feel like HN is your only avenue of new visitors/users.

Another thing I would do is to try and get one of those “UX review” services done for your app (they aren’t that expensive) - the ones that put your app in front of real people, and this way you will get feedback on how people use your app and whether it is the way you intended.

This way you won’t have to deal with things like the top comment in your last Show HN being about AdBlock…

Keep working on it. Change the landing page so I am not greeted with the Maps interface straight away. Let people have a brief introduction and a tiny onboarding experience.

I think the URL needs to be different. If that's the case, don't link to your home page but some more specific path. E.g. "https://yoursite.com/blog/how-weve-implemented-all-suggestio..." instead of just "https://yoursite.com/blog".
