Awesome. Thanks for the response. It's nice to hear about your experience and the process. I have thought about mentioning the project as a comment on a related HN submission...but I can never think of a way that seems natural enough. To answer your question the project is here: http://moviepileapp.com

I don't think the lack of traction is anything more than the app being largely irrelevant to the HN community. It's not going to help anyone develop software or build a business. While the website is professional (and presumably the app as well) the HN community isn't going to learn much of anything - other than the app is for sale - or be entertained by visiting the site.

Compare your previous posts to this one. Here you tell a story. One relevant to many HN members. What makes it compelling is that it is about you and the challenges of your business - not about features of an app that solves a problem most people don't have.

Your question here comes across as genuine not marketing noise. That's why its got traction. Interest in your project will come as a byproduct of your contribution to the community, not by treating HN as just another social media outlet.

Good luck.

Looks awesome man, slick design. Don't worry too much if it doesn't take off here on HN - from breakdowns of traffic analytics after Show HNs and other sources it still seems like word of mouth and cumulative use effect make everything else look like a drop in the water.
