The same name he submitted this one under. See his response below. He also didn't mention that he'd already posted it previously until after I had submitted my response. Or I missed it because of the blind rage I felt when he posted it the third time. Just kidding.

I do doubt that he is asking the wrong crowd -- at least, at first. "Would anyone be interested in me building this?" vs "Hey, I built this. Anyone have a use for it?" are two very different questions. Since there are already people with working solutions in place, and they're easy enough to find, your first initiative should be to either a) build it for yourself or b) find out what problems they already have and how to eloquently solve them.

In short, he needs to find people that already have a need for it. As to whether or not they read HN, who knows. A direct email is a much better method of contact, though.
