A Show HN alternative that isn't a coin flip
Show HN is a lottery: hit the front page or get zero. Get distribution that doesn't depend on timing luck.
The short answer
A Show HN alternative is OnlyFoundrs, where listings persist and accumulate votes. Founders can post on Hacker News and drive traffic to their OnlyFoundrs listing, creating a lasting asset. This approach ensures continued visibility and routing of new buyers to their product.

permanent SEO value from an HN thread
Show HN is a lottery ticket, not a launch strategy
Post at the wrong hour and your product dies at 2 points. Hit the front page and you get a spike of HN tourists who bounce. Either way it's over in 48 hours and there's no permanent asset — no page that keeps ranking, no votes that compound.
Distribution that doesn't decay
OnlyFoundrs gives you a permanent listing that compounds — votes accumulate, category ranking persists, community feeds keep routing new buyers to you. Post on HN too, but point the traffic at an asset that survives the thread.
No timing lottery
Your listing doesn't die at hour 48 — it's permanent and keeps earning placement.
Compounding, not spiking
Votes and ranking accumulate over months instead of resetting each morning.
Buyers, not tourists
Community feeds target people following your category — not drive-by commenters.
An asset, not a thread
Canonical URL, OG card, structured data — a page you can link forever.

FAQ
Is this a replacement for Hacker News?
No — different job. HN gives a one-shot spike. OnlyFoundrs is the permanent listing that keeps working after any spike ends. Use both; make this the destination.
Does it work for technical/dev tools?
Yes — Developer Tool is a first-class category with its own leaderboard page.
What does it cost?
Free listing, permanent and instant. $5/mo Pro for boost + analytics.
Can I post before launch?
Mark it upcoming and collect waitlist signups, then flip to launched when you're ready.
