Subject: Launch advice for the project you unflagged last year? (passage-of-time → a whole methodology)

Hi Dan,

Jérémie Lumbroso here (lumbroso — the passage-of-time MCP server you kindly unflagged and retitled last summer; you cc'd Tom and pvg and offered "let us know if we can help at all"). I'm taking you up on that, a year later, at exactly the moment your advice could help most.

Since that Show HN, that little tool became the seed of something much larger: ADRs4AI (https://adrs.systems) — git-native tooling and a discipline we call deliberative programming, where the decisions of human-AI collaboration are kept as first-class, versioned, auditable records (questions, alternatives, reasons, confidence with grounds, revision conditions) colocated with the code they govern. It's not a framework pitch; it's a year of practice with receipts: the collaboration template is public, a VS Code extension ships, and the methodology has been run in the open across 100+ repositories — including retroactive "decision archaeology" on my free-disk-space GitHub Action (708★, running in thousands of CI pipelines daily) so people can see the method applied to a codebase they already use, and on passage-of-time-mcp itself (719★ now, ~33k requests/month, migrated to its permanent home at time.system3.tools).

Everything is live; I have not announced anything yet. My question is simple and I'll take a one-line answer gratefully: how would you launch this well on HN? Concretely I'm unsure whether the right first move is a Show HN of the template repo, of the worked-example repos (the free-disk-space archaeology is the most "walk up and see it" artifact), or a written piece about the practice — and whether launching several related pieces over weeks reads as spam or as a body of work. I care a lot about not abusing the community's patience; one honest shot, framed right, is all I want.

Any pointer — even "front the artifact, skip the essay" — would be acted on faithfully.

With appreciation for last year's kindness,
Jérémie

P.S. — Your other note from that thread ("if you ever want to write a blog post about that, let me know") is not forgotten: the accents/name-mangling piece is in progress, with a decade of receipts.
