i think that there are a few distinct usecases for ShowHN that lead to conflicting visions:

* some people want to show off a fun project/toy/product that they built because it's a business they're trying to start and they want to get marketing

* some people want to show off a fun project/toy/product that they built because it's involves some cool tech under the hood and they want to talk shop

* some people want to show off a fun project/toy/product that they built because it's a fun thing and they just want some people to have fun
