Ask HN: Deciding between Ask HN and Show HN

2 points by byschii 2 years ago · 3 comments · 1 min read


Hi everyone! I almost finished writing yet another bookmark manager in go. It's a little website i wrote to learn go, but i keep stumbling into problems related (i guess) to go. What is more appropriate to ask for help? should i post as - ask hn, describe my problem and eventually put a link to github - ask hn, describe my problem in detail, avoid any link - show hn, link to github and describe the problem in readme

From your “I wrote to learn go”, I guess this isn’t really “Anything that good hackers would find interesting” (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), so I suggest to use Stackoverflow.

    Yep, you are probably right. My doubts on where to post are a sign that i'm in the wrong place. thank you

Stackoverflow.com sounds like a more appropriate website for such problems.
