Maybe you’re overthinking it? Just push it to GitHub and call it a day. Someone else will turn it into the general-reader version.
Unless it has a bunch of secret stuff in it. Then I guess you’d have to.
Don’t underestimate the tenacity of HN readers though. Lots of us would do that kind of thing just for fun. You don’t have to do it all yourself.
There's a bunch of secret stuff in it, in the sense of moderator-only.
I don't think there's anything sinister, but it wouldn't be very nice to release in the current form.
Eh, just backspace the mod-only stuff and push it to GitHub. We’ll clean it up.
Easier said than done maybe, but please don’t feel like you need to get it perfect. We’ll do a lot of the legwork for you.
Also don’t underestimate how cool it is to get to see what you use in its current form, even if it’s rough. There’s an archaeological component to this that’s quite gratifying.
