We've all been there, trust me. This is actually a good way to tell if your app is needed. Float a small working version around HN and other sites, if there is little-to-no feedback then you know the market does not really need this app.
I know it sucks when you've invested countless hours into this thing, but getting no feedback is actually valuable feedback.
- paulnelligan 16y agosorry Ryan, I can't agree with you there. There could be dozens of indications either way that state that your app is either needed or not needed. Lack of upvotes on HN is the least significant of those indications that I've seen personally. In the end, I value customer (or potential customer) feedback far more.
- kineticac 16y agoif you're looking for upvotes and horrahs just for the sake of "great idea," it won't be here on HN. If this service helps and benefits the HN community, you will get feedback. Like you said, value real customer feedback. If your glory was hinging on HN feedback, I hope they are your main target users. If not, then it's not a problem at all.
