Ask HN: Why do my Show HN submissions get flagged immediately?

9 hours 23 min ago

I'm hoping to understand what I might be doing wrong.

I've tried submitting a few Show HN posts over time, all related to software projects I've built. The posts seem relevant to Hacker News, don't contain affiliate links, and are not commercial advertisements.

However, they often get flagged almost immediately after submission, sometimes within seconds. Because it happens so quickly, it feels almost automatic, although I may be mistaken.

I'm not complaining about moderation. I'm genuinely trying to understand what signals might cause this and how I can improve future submissions.

Are there common mistakes first-time or low-karma users make when posting Show HN projects?

For people who have successfully posted Show HN projects before, what tends to work well, and what tends to trigger flags or negative reactions?

I'd appreciate any advice.

Show HN: Clickfyre Ping – send app notifications to yourself

9 hours 26 min ago

I built a tool to get app notifications whenever something important happens: a sale is made, a site goes down, a job completes, etc.

Install the app, get a device key, and integrate a simple HTTP API call into your code or workflow to trigger a notification on your phone.

No account needed, no signup, no SDKs, no fiddling around with FCM or APNs. Just an app and a simple API.
