告诉HN:谢谢你,HN——从阴影禁令到我生命中最快乐的日子之一
几天前,我在 Show HN 上发布了一个我仅用两天时间制作的小型 C 项目——一个最简化的、仅包含头文件的 giflib 替代品。但这并不是我第一次发帖。
我第一个真正的项目是 PIT,一个用 C 语言编写的全彩终端图像查看器。我花了几个月的时间在上面,并多次尝试通过在 HN 上发布来获取反馈。每次都几乎没有人关注,感觉似乎没有人关心。老实说,这让我感到很沮丧。
然后我做了一个小而简单的项目——TurboStitchGIF。我想:为什么不再试一次呢?
但就在我发布后不久,这个帖子就被版主[标记/隐藏]了,没有任何解释。我发了一封礼貌的邮件询问原因,但没有得到回复。
然后突然间……帖子又回来了。
而且发生了一件惊人的事情:它开始获得点赞——总共 19 个——以及积极而深思熟虑的评论。在 GitHub 上,它在一天内获得了 14 个星标,超过了 PIT 之前的任何记录。我甚至在 GitHub 上得到了我的第一个关注者——这 honestly 是我完全没有预料到的。
我只想说:
谢谢你,HN。
感谢版主恢复了这个帖子。感谢每一个阅读、点赞、给仓库加星或留下友好评论的人。你们把我怀疑的瞬间变成了我人生中最快乐的日子之一。
如果你曾经有过几乎放弃的时刻——但又尝试了一次——我也很想听听你的故事。

A few days ago, I posted a tiny C project I made in just 2 days — a minimal, header-only alternative to giflib — to Show HN. But it wasn’t my first post.<p>My first real project was PIT, a full-color terminal image viewer written in C. I spent months on it and tried multiple times to get feedback by posting it on HN. Each time, it received very little attention. It felt like no one cared. Honestly, it was frustrating.<p>Then I made something small and simple — TurboStitchGIF. I thought: why not try again?<p>But right after I posted it, the submission was [flagged/hidden] by moderators. No explanation. I sent a polite email asking why. No reply.<p>Then suddenly… the post was back.<p>And something amazing happened: it started getting upvotes — 19 in total — and positive, thoughtful comments.
On GitHub, it got 14 stars in one day, more than PIT ever got. I even got my first follower on GitHub — something I honestly wasn’t expecting at all.<p>I just wanted to say:
Thank you, HN.<p>Thanks to the moderators for restoring the post. Thanks to everyone who read it, upvoted, starred the repo, or left a kind comment. You turned a moment of doubt into one of the happiest days of my life.<p>If you’ve ever had a moment where you almost gave up — but tried one more time — I’d love to hear your story too.
