Nobody else will promote you until you promote yourself. If other people on HN don't read your blog or use your product you won't ever make it on here unless you kick start it yourself. Once other people are aware of what you are doing, you'll probably need to self-promote less. Remember the golden rule, if you give people stuff that's relevant to them, you are giving them something of value It's ok to promote yourself if you do that. If you aren't you are spamming.
