I've been working hard on a really cool Google Analytics app (http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/app/googalytics/34a0d886-d541-4362-80b6-62f61733f0a9) for Windows 8 and I'm really proud of it. It's ranked as #1 top paid Business app in the Windows Store, and it received some nice press coverage. WPCentral posted about it for example: http://www.wpcentral.com/googalytics-windows-8-simple-way-access-your-analytic-data. We also got Google to retweet it: https://twitter.com/googleanalytics/status/390141635826159616.
I posted it here on HN multiple times, but it just keeps being ignored by everyone, and floating off the 'new' page. Meanwhile, people who built something far more simple and/or spent less time on it keep reaching the frontpage with their 'show HN' posts. I know most people here run Apple, but isn't it fair to just appreciate the effort someone else put in his project even though you won't/can't use it? I always vote up 'shown HN' posts when I see someone has built something nice, even though it's for a different platform, or I'm simply not interested in their product.
