The example you gave is just so buggy; why do you think that this is worth sharing with the world yet?

The very first question is full of obvious bugs.

You have 'find . -name "notes.txt"' selected, it then says 'You submitted: ls -R | grep notes.txt: find . -name "notes.txt"', then it responds:

'Thanks — your answer looks like it was partially entered.

'You picked find . -name "notes.txt" (good choice). The submission shows an escaped/unfinished string: find . -name \. The correct full command is find . -name "notes.txt", which searches recursively from the current directory for files or directories named exactly notes.txt.'

There seems to be some weird kind of quoting issue going on there. I would fix obvious issues like that before sharing this with the world.

It's worth sharing because it's cool, even if it's not perfect yet!

You'll never make every single person on HN happy. But if you share your stuff early and make one person happy at the very least that means you should keep working on it!

Don't let perfectionism get in the way of good enough :]

I think there has just been a bit of whiplash with "Show HN" here lately, it was recently discussed here https://www.arthurcnops.blog/death-of-show-hn/ with much good discussion here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47045804. That's no excuse for being overly harsh, but it's not really quite "anything is great to share!" either.

Show HNs never pleased everyone, and it'd be silly to try, but until recently there was a bit of a "it's not perfect... but the person has spent more time working on this than I have even spent thinking on the problem" kind of expectation whereas now many of them feel like the comments section ends up doing more thought about the submission than was put into refining it.

It'll be really interesting to see where this settles. In the meantime, erring on the side of kindness tends to work best!

Personally, I found this idea cool, and a fresh change from the onslaught of clawdbot posts on this platform. It was enough to make my time on this site a little bit more enjoyable. There's no need to nitpick to the point of bringing down another human for their work.

Sorry, I shouldn't have been that harsh about it; I apologize. Doesn't look like I can delet the comment, though.

Anyhow, I'm just a bit bitter about the onslaught of obviously vibe coded projects that very little effort has been put into. And OP did ask for feedback. But I shouldn't have been so mean about it. I know it can be fun to be able to whip up something quicker than you could before, but I really wish people would spend a tiny bit more effort on it before asking for feedback.

I'm going to agree with you. Neat idea but the site is broken and clearly vibe coded, no Fs given to it actually working or making any sense.

This is far below most other "Show HN" posts and your first message was spot on.

I checked the website and you weren't harsh enough. It reads more like a post modern art about vibecoding, some kind of performative art than anything.
