When is it the best time to post on Show HN?
- FerkiHN 1y agoWeekdays (Monday - Friday) are best. Posting times: 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM (EST)
- vanschelven 1y agoSkimming the graphs one would say "it hardly matters" which matches the naive assumption that any advantage would be "arbitraged away" by people spending their time researching such matters.
- comrade1234 1y agoI'm in Central Europe and prefer reading it during my morning/early-afternoon. When the east coast Americans start waking up the speed of comments starts increasing and the number of stories grows. When the west coast wakes up, forget it. Best to wait until tomorrow.
- coffeecoders 1y agoI would have guessed it would be around 12 p.m. PT on weekdays, lunchtime for us West Coast folks.
- gametorch 1y agoI know it's easier said than done, but building something that people actually want will get you orders of magnitude more upvotes than whatever variance can be attributed to the time of posting.
- TruffleLabs 1y agoWhat is your desired definition of "best"? Most readers on initial posting? Quality comments? Quantity traffic on shown website?

- BenderV 1y agoHere, the best time is defined as the highest chance of getting "some" visibility. Most posts quickly fade away. You are right that there is lots of way to measure this but quality comments is way harder to judge and we don't have quantity traffic info.
- sampl3username 1y agoAre you trying to "game" and "optimize" us too? Don't you think that is a bit out of tune with the atmosphere here?
