Can anyone point me to a ShowHN first post policy documentation?

edit: project link is https://github.com/upwindchange/Autai

I had an open source project launching but I found out that I cannot make ShowHN post, the explanation given to me is very vague, I am not sure what should I do to get myself qualified? Is there some quantized instruction like "how many days the account should be registered" or "how many posts/comments/upvotes" the account should get qualified? Thank you for your guidance.

      Thank you, the second link is very helpful. I've read the first link before, not finding answer to my question, that is why I wrote my post and asked.

        That's not telling me what the message is that HN is giving you when you try to submit the project.

    You can send an email to hn@ycombinator.com. They tend to respond promptly.

    FYI, this is because a lot of ShowHN had turned into low quality slop. Not suggesting that it is, but if you do think your project could be slop, consider not posting it here.

    This is not just the first stop in promoting your resume project or whatever random open source library. This is for showing _interesting_ projects to the community to get feedback.

      I've been working on this project for close to one year and reached the first POC, which is a significant devote of engineering time for me. Though it is still a POC release, I am still proud that I can pull this off: https://github.com/upwindchange/Autai

        Looks cool! Want me to post it for you? If you have a message I can attach, I'd be happy to.
