What can you expect from a hackernews launch?

So we launched our python library with a colab demo on hackernews and here's a short summary of what happened

1. Post went to front page in the morning at 7:30 AM https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37999527
   
   Our post linked to a colab demo.

2. Comments and visitors started coming in. We did our best to answer as the post slowly dropped off the main page. By 6 PM our time, the post already went off the first page and onto the second.

Outcomes:

• we went from 520 git stars to 670+ over 48h, and they keep climbing at a slower rate
• Our github traffic was about 20x of a regular day
• Our website traffic was about 3x compared to a regular day
• about 10 new members joined our slack community.
