You should try to get other people to make your demos is all I'm saying. I don't know why you keep inserting yourself either. Why didn't someone else post the thing you made? Were they waiting for you to do it or do you think people aren't smart enough to do it? I'm just trying to understand why every damned LLM story has to feature you. In what ways could you avoid such a filter of your posts?

You mean this thing? https://tools.simonwillison.net/hacker-news-filtered
I built it literally minutes before I posted it, and I built it specifically for this thread.
Other people post my stuff all the time - if you take a look at this list here, very few of them were submitted by my user account: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=simonwillison.net
(Currently only one of the posts on that page were by me.)
let simonw be prolific, lots of people enjoy his content and that is why his comments in the post are always ranked in the top. This animosity isn't constructive.
