Ask HN: I can't post in Show HN

1 points by wensim ↗ HN
I recently built an html+pdf documentation framework that uses Typst and I want to post to Show HN, so I created a new account last week but when I try to submit my post it only shows "we are temporarily restricting Show HN" and "spend some time to comment, get around with the community," etc.

Are there any ways to remove the restriction? I read some other posts like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47875235 and sent an email to hn@ycombinator.com five days ago. I believe I made myself pretty clear in my email:

> Hi, I'm Jeremy. I made a pure Typst documentation generator called Haita that doesn't rely on other tools and I wanted to post it to Show HN but found that I couldn't post at all. The project's link is https://wensimehrp.github.io/haita. I did not write it with LLM assistance. Can you please lift the restriction on my account? My account name is wensim and it uses the same email address. Thanks! > > Jeremy

And sometimes I go on shownew just to find that there are posts from accounts that are created only a few hours ago. Am I just unlucky?

> It’s not ready yet! Haita is a decent choice for organizing long, comprehensive documentation. But just like Typst, Haita is an unfinished project, and is (currently) not a serious tool.

Unfinished as in "it does not compile" or unfinished as in "there are some missing advanced features"?

As in there are some missing features. The site you saw _is_ the compiled output.

There are some features like search and i18n that I really want to add. mdBook has search, sphinx also has search, and the best thing I could do now is to add a pagefind integration. I'm still finding ways to add more features while keeping the project's scope within Typst.
