Why would you in 2025 only build for iOS?
This was a swift app. I wanted a bit more native feel and didn't go for react native.

I'm also wondering if it's an automatic classification. Wouldn't expect that on HN, but the posts in there are so random that it almost must be.
As for that specific comment, to be fair, I could actually understand: promoting your own product in someone else's thread without really saying anything at all about the submission (topic) that was posted could be seen as off-topic. I don't really mind it (I don't think I voted on it), but I could see a human also classify it that way
Yeah , that's fair. More than promotion i was trying to suggest i had also built something similar and kind of understand the product space. It's this dev thing, can't shake it off i guess. But i get what you meant.
Apart from that i have a theory that there is a lot of ML based ranking and classification that is happening at the backend.

Note that the discussion continues in the collapsed comment by tomhow: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44499848
It says "stub for offtopicness" but, skimming them, literally all comments are on-topic. Not all substantial ('very nice app', 'whats the tech stack?') but a lot of other comments are a normal amount of substantial and also in there... I don't get it, but note that you can expand that subthread
I posted this
``` Hi ,Congrats on the launch. I built a free iOS app also which has chess puzzles.

Would appreciate feedback. ```
Not sure if that's why it was moved to `stub for off topicness`. I wonder if it is some kind of categorisation logic based on text.

Thanks man. I would also suggest creating a leaderboard with XP for gamification

really nice! 5 stars! would be great to be able to log in, or easily link out to the comment pages in browser.
Thanks. Currently i am using the HN api (https://github.com/HackerNews/API) . It's a read only API and doesn't support writes. I heard that might be away to do this with a webview initially, haven't explored that yet.

Isn’t it advice from YC itself to launch multiple times :)
