Thanks for the reply, danso, I thought I might be in the Cone of Silence. Any thoughts on how to get there without being spammy? I've been reading HN regularly

  It's just luck, I think...probably only 1 out of 20 of the links I submit get more than a few upvotes. In regards to your app submission, the title does sound too spammy...and the content is probably a turn off for most HN users, who don't like having to actually log in/download something before finding out what it does. I'd consider writing a blog post that walks step-by-step through some of the technology/code you used to implement your app...Most people probably aren't initially excited by a treasure hunt app, but many of us hackers always like to be inspired by novel ways to use image recognition and/or GPS.

    That's what I was thinking the geekwire article would help with. But yeah, a tech article is a great idea, thanks!
