In the 30 minutes where the example was at the bottom of the README: 7 upvotes.
In the 30 minutes where the example was moved to the top, so you could see it without scrolling: 30 upvotes.
Given the fast-paced nature of HN, getting to the point ASAP seems to have significant merit. All the other projects that I've announced on HN, with weeks of work put into them, and websites which expect the user to spend 5 minutes reading before they get the point, have had no upvotes or comments at all :-P
