It was a disaster when I announced it on Hacker News, and I got numerous harassments from strangers.
But anyway 3 years since then and I'm still working on it.
Edit 1: 2 => 3 years
Edit 2: If anyone is interested, I wrote a blog on the mistakes I made http://cheng.guru/blog/2018/02/18/lessons-learnt-from-open-s....
You're asking people to do a lot of clicking to get an idea of what's available.
Please be kind. This thread is about self-promotion.
There's no need to dig up his past just to flog a dead horse.

2 people complained about the same thing, and you gave feedback that was "it's over here, but not where you think it is" that's a UX problem in a README.
I went to look at the README me, clicked Sample App (with Screen Shots) and there's no screen shots. I gave up.
Make the screen shot, at least one, front and center on the main README.
2 were nice enough to complain, but you've got to believe so many more people would be interested if they could just see it.
Feedback is always nice and wonderful if people freely provide it, but I don't see - especially in light of this Ask HN topic - why one 'has to' listen to it? Or to 'complaints' for that matter, on someone's pet OSS project. Sure, it might be prudent to listen, but it is totally up to the maintainer to do so or not.
