Your only objective should be to get your app in front of as many people as possible. That includes us. What's the app? I'm sure you'll get some constructive criticism.

This is false.

Your only objective should be to get your app in front of people who want to use it.

Identify target demographics and hunt them down. If HN, TechCrunch, and other bullshit tech blogs are not your target audience, then don't waste your time!!! Get users through creative channels. Focus on users who actually want to use your app. Build a following, make them happy. THEN you can worry about tech press (which is a waste of time 99% of the time unless you're about to raise a round or are building a product for developers).
