C is best

It’s not, it’s just how hackernews works. You’ll see new projects hit 1k-10k stars in a matter of a day. You can have the best project, best article to you but if everyone else doesn’t think so it’ll always be at the bottom. Some luck involved too. Bots upvoting a post not organically I doubt is gonna live long on first page.

The stars are on GitHub, they can come from somewhere else, e.g. the author himself buying stars.

Hi, I'm the developer's father. Trust me, he hasn't bought a single star in his life—not even in Super Mario :p

This is hella common. Companies have too much money to spend.

That's not how it works. My publication with (subjectively) better language barely had a couple of comments and github stars.

18 commits! I hope you keep up with the project, it’s really cool, great work.

Oh helllllllll no. I’ll stick with my Linux. Cool project but Windows is just crap nowadays, even the UI. Best was XP.

Past few years working on TidesDB - a storage engine for building databases. Think a game engine which is used for building games. https://github.com/tidesdb/tidesdb

You know it’s kinda like a lottery the more I read it lol! If the repo got super popular and had lots of traffic say.

Really great, thank you!

Sorry to be a party pooper I just don’t get the point.

I don't think there's a point. You can always submit a point, if it gets voted you will have your point

This is exactly the point.

It's a bit like bigtech but instead of product people voting on what gets merged, everyone gets a vote here.

It’s a cool idea but the content needs to be more useful imo.

how could i make it more useful? different formats? would you want to keep you engaged for longer? entertained for longer?

Relevant content - what is relevant to me may not be relevant to you.

The website seems to be unresponsive on iPhone safari.

Too bad Safari is the only browser engine allowed on iPhone.

Same on Mac FF
