Draft a Show HN post in the format HN actually respects
Paste your product URL, get a draft with a noun-form title and a first-person body. Plain, specific, no marketing adjectives. Free, no account.
Why most Show HN posts flop
- Marketing adjectives get flagged on sight. “Beautiful,” “revolutionary,” “AI-powered” — the community reads these as a founder who doesn't know the format.
- The body should be a first-person narrative. “I built X because Y. Here's how it works. Here's what's still rough.” Not a feature list.
- The first comment matters more than the post. Live in the thread for 48 hours. Answer the “why not just use Z” questions with substance.
Questions
- What does this tool do?
- It drafts a Show HN post in the HN community format: plain noun-form title, first-person body, the sections the community expects (what it is, why you built it, technical detail, what's unfinished).
- Is this tool really free?
- Yes. No login, no account. The model is the same one we use for the full OpenCorp research flow.
- How do I make a Show HN that doesn't flop?
- Plain noun title, no marketing adjectives, first comment with what you actually built and what's still rough, reply in-thread for 48 hours. The drafter follows that format. The rest is the substance of your tool.
- Why not just write the post yourself?
- You should. Use the drafter as a starting point, then rewrite every section in your own voice. The point of the tool is to surface the format, not the words.
