For this kind of project, you really need a "View live demo" link that shows us an example of the results. Take the tool output and paste it into /demo.

OR at least take a screenshot of it and place it above the fold on the homepage.

People are seldom likely to do work unless they think it will be worth their time.

Good tip! Do you mean for hackernews or for the homepage of for both?

A demo on your website would be more beneficial I think. Not that I don't trust you, but I like to see what the results look like before I go and download my Goodreads days and upload it to yours.

Yeah, just to save time.

I do like websites that have this as well. It feels like some effort, more than is needed for a MVP. However, to get people using it is also very important.

Thanks for the suggestions
