Technical founders preparing a Hacker News launch

Write a Show HN post for a technical SaaS

A focused use case page for founders searching for Show HN launch post examples, templates, and prompts that avoid generic marketing copy.

Job to be done

Turn a devtool, AI utility, or workflow product into a specific Show HN title and post body.

Use this when the product has a working demo, technical proof, and a narrow user workflow that can survive Hacker News scrutiny.

Reusable prompt

Act as a skeptical Hacker News reader. Rewrite {product} into a Show HN title and short post using one specific user, one painful workflow, concrete build details, and one focused feedback question. Remove generic AI hype.
