Indiegogo campaign is on the front page of Hacker News

Might not be by time you read this, but feel free to jump over and take part in the discussion:

The Next Big Language, Again?

For those who are interested, right now we've been sitting at #1 for about 90 minutes.

Re: Indiegogo campaign is on the front page of Hacker News

HN illuminati in full swing today. I posted one reply, and then 5 minutes later a second one to a different comment, and got a "you are posting too quickly, please stop" message. Then later in the day I saw my original reply was deleted and they had changed the title to "Redline Smalltalk v1.0" My guess is they look at replies and go, "oh this guy has only commented on one article in the last 6 months, and it's one where he's in the video", then delete.

HN blows, but I'm glad that Redline was on top for a while today :)

Re: Indiegogo campaign is on the front page of Hacker News

they did indeed change the title.

the reply wise though, not so much. i posted a ton of replies after not having posted anything in 218 days. HN is truly a weird place.

Still, we were at #1 for almost 3 hours and we were on the front page for 11 1/2 hours. It didnt result in a ton of donations, but we got over 26k in views on the campaign. That kind of publicity can't hurt.

Hopefully as the primary answerer of questions, I acquitted myself well and it moves the long tail forward.

Thanks to everyone who added in this.

Hugs,

Sean
