Best tips on how to get to the front page on HackerNews?

by
The holy grail of tech startups right? xD I've read articles and articles on this, and there isn't any blueprint to this that works every time (or I did not find it). Any tips on how to achieve this? Should I start a support group like the one that exists for PH launches through a google sheet table and via WhatsApp?

@fmerian Didn't read much about it. There's a great article by developer markepear on the topic. I actually did manage to get one post on the front page for like 30 minutes (enough for traffic to explode 😅) Seems like Friday late afternoon (so 7, 8 PM) is a good time to post (GMT +1 timezone).

I have also read a lot of stories on startups getting their viral growth through HackerNews. I guess sharing valuable content upfront and engaging with folks there helps to build credibility.
