HN has a bias towards what's currently in. Windows 8 is not really cool to the startup crowd, so it gets ignored. I saw the app and it looks nice. So, good job!

If you want to get HNs attention, you must use node.js with Mongo and write blog post full with buzzwords. Then title it something like: "Show HN: Google Analtics app in Node.js/MongoDB"
- kohanz 13y agoOr Show HN: Google Analytics app in pure CSS ;)
- atom-morgan 13y agoI agree. I saw the original Show HN, checked out the app in the store and thought it looked great. But at the end of the day, it's a Windows 8 app. I don't even know anybody who has Windows 8.
- infinii 13y agoYeah. It's like trying to sell venison at a vegan retreat
- chc 13y agoI think you don't even need to go that far: Hacker News users don't tend to use Windows 8, so they can't very well try out a Windows 8 app. (Obviously some do, but my impression is that this is one of the few places where Windows use is solidly in the minority.)
