At the risk of being pedantic, and because I know a large percentage of folks do not understand what you are saying, by "amazing" do you mean something with a lot of users and proof of traction? Not something that looks cool, is an incredible program, or most programmers would think is awesome? Because the average user of HN's opinion of "awesome" and yours might be very far apart.

When I say to investors that something is good, I mean good from their point of view. Which means that users do or will love it, and the market is big.
