This is a follow-up to my comment above (since I can no longer edit it):

> By tomorrow, it may surpass 2,741 points and claim the #1 spot outright.

Indeed! I just woke up to find that the post has got 2,742 points which officially make it the best Show HN of all time! You can see the full list here: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=show+hn

Byran, you now have probably the best C.V. you can use for any job and you should be proud of yourself.

Congratulations!

Just for amusement purposes (and in no way to diminish this amazing success), the most-upvoted Show HN remains:

Show HN: This up votes itself - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3742902 - March 2012 (82 comments)

But that one had the unfair advantage of, er, upvoting itself. Also, it was meta, so the upvoters were on crack (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

Byran's has reached #2, which makes it the most-upvoted in 13 years!
