I have had a very short look at your submission history, and I still have no idea what product or service you're offering.

Why do you expect "success" with something nobody even notices?

Well, that's a surprise. May be I am doing something completely wrong because the previous two submissions (apart from this one) were of the products, we have recently launched.

And that's what my question is, why HNers are not noticing things I am posting? :)

There's a lot of noise. Most things submitted to HN don't get noticed. If you can't get onto the front page in the first hour after you submit something, it's pretty much all done, and nobody will ever see it.
Well, your readboard submission got noticed, just not in a positive way... and promptly flagged, so most people can't even see it. Yay, spam filtering works.

Your other submission I very nearly missed the "example data" field, it looked like a very empty page that wants some unspecified data otherwise.

Put a page that tells people what they are looking at, don't force them to click things and follow steps without knowing what the end result is. Step-by-step onboarding is nice if a user has signed up for something, but you have to show what you offer before that happens. (and most people here will close the page as soon as there is a sign-up prompt, unless you really convinced them)

Thank you for your feedback. This really helps.
