Getting friends to do promotional votes and comments isn't ok on HN. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. We ban sites and accounts for doing this, so please don't. Also, it's usually obvious to the HN community when this is happening, and they consider it spamming.

We want users to upvote submissions that they personally find intellectually interesting, not because they or their friends have something to promote.

Hi. Thanks for letting me know about this. Indeed, I told my developer friends to check out our open source project and give us an upvote if they liked it. Ok. Now I know that it is not allowed! Then please make a banner on the submit form.

A feedback for HN: if you are looking for stories, then delete show HN category. There is no story in what I want to show. It's simply the project that I wanted more developers to know. That's why I put in the "Show HN" category -> to show to HN. If you don't want people to show the projects, why did you have this category?? Very contradictory.

Also please remember that - No algorithms are perfect, neither are human's judgements!

This is a simple yet interesting tool. It's nice to have an easy sneak peak into how websites are tracking me. And I love the logo!

Interesting, I know it's just starting, but I wish the UI will improve in the future.

Nice and neat tool to check out! But how is it different than all other privacy tools? pi-hole, uBlock, adBlock...

Thanks for checking it out. Privacy Eye is NOT an ad/tracker blocker. It shows what's behind each website in a simple and intuitive way. Its main purpose is to improve internet transparency and educate non-tech users about internet and data privacy.
