(1) You should add a comment to the thread giving the backstory of how you came to work on this, and explaining what's different about it. That tends to seed discussion in a good direction.

(2) On HN it's a bit of an antipattern to have your username be the name of your company or project. It creates a feeling of using the site for promotion and of not really participating as yourself. Better to have a username that represents you as a human being, which of course need not be your real name. (If you want to change your username, email us at [email protected] and we'll help.)

Good luck!
