Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com) started as a link aggregator/message board for the startup incubator Y Combinator [0]. Essentially a place to share projects, share tech news and other internet sites that appeal to the tech startup community of San Fransisco, though the appeal is much broader (I'm in upstate NY).

I guess it's a bit hard to explain, but there's a cluster of points of interest that appeal to the stereotypical user on hacker news, of which generative art (and potentially a "wave function collapse"-like algorithm that you may or may not be using), architecture, brutalism and indie gamedev are part of that list.

I suspected your project resonates with a lot of people's interest who frequent the site, which is why I submitted it here (anyone can submit, I just happened to be the one that did it first).
