I'm curious as to what people think is the appropriate amount of time to wait before reposting the same story.

I know people complain about any and all reposts in the first place (https://xkcd.com/1053), but obviously there should be a priority on teaching people things they didn't already know instead of punishing people that never read old news.




You may have noted this from my links, but just in case—when I say the htmx has a lot of submissions I'm not referring to duplicate submissions, I'm referring to dozens of different submissions of different projects using or adjacent to htmx.

Re: the meta question, dang's policy that he repeats a lot is that reposts are fine every year or so [0]. Individuals may obviously disagree, but that's the rule that's actually enforced.

Personally I also find value in those posts even if knew about those technologies before. I often find interesting and up-to-date information or opinions in the comments.
