I've been guilty of this. When meteor.js was new, I made an issue tracker, and proudly submitted it to HN with a title something like "Issue tracker made with Meteor". Some things I found: 1. You have a much better chance of getting upvotes if you appeal to a popular technology. Had I not mentioned Meteor I suspect I would never have made it to the front page. 2. In my case, most of the initial interest came from those more interested in the underlying technology than the application. 3. I found it very difficult to market the project as an issue tracker as it was already established as a meteor project.
