Thanks for the advice, will take it into consideration. Saw a similar post that made it into the top submissions, figured I'd add my own.

There's a lot of luck involved in submissions getting to the top. All you can do is make it the best possible.

Here's an idea: Make a simple landing page explaining your idea with an email sign up form. Submit that as a link, rather than a text post.

It will most likely get a lot more upvotes.
