&gt; <i>Hopefully this gets more love than it did last time</i><p>We invited the submitter to repost it for that reason. I&#x27;ll try to merge the comments from there into here.<p>Invited reposts are mostly deprecated now in favor of re-ups [1], but when it looks like the submitter might also be the author (as e.g. with Show HNs), we still send them. It&#x27;s nice for an author to know that their post may still get discussed, and it&#x27;s good for HN when an author jumps into the thread.<p>[1] All the details at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10705926" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10705926</a> and previous posts linked there.
