"Show HN:" is exactly for this purpose.

If people care or show interest, they will interact with your post, if they don't... :)

ps: we are all in the same boat

true, but wouldn't it be great to have a tab for those entries ? :)

If you make it a "text" post it'll go on the Ask tab, where it falls off much slower. A common format (less common lately) used to be to make a text post titled "Show HN: something something", where you explain what you're doing, what you'd like feedback on, and then include a link at the end, instead of just submitting the link.

well... I see the re-post and discussion of nearly all posts from many sites.

i'd be happy to filter those out somehow... :)
