| It’s not, it’s just how hackernews works. You’ll see new projects hit 1k-10k stars in a matter of a day. You can have the best project, best article to you but if everyone else doesn’t think so it’ll always be at the bottom. Some luck involved too. Bots upvoting a post not organically I doubt is gonna live long on first page. |

| Definitely could be, but the dev has been posting updates on Twitter for a while now. It could be just some amount of hype they have built. |
