It depend on what you want.
HN/TC/... are good to show a new product to people that want to see new products. Thats it.
That did not mean that you get customers or a wider audience.
One year ago i launch http://apidocjs.com (OpenSource for RESTful API documentation), i show it to HN and got 2.500 Visitors in one day (yeah!), but the next days nearly zero.
Further development and step by step more users find their way to apiDoc -> organic growth.
