Ask HN: I offered free promo codes for my iphone app but....
Yesterday I wanted to give away some promo codes to my new iPhone app but only one person wanted one.
Was it inappropriate to offer this on Hacker News? There were no catches or tricks. It was a genuine offer. I just thought it would be a good thing to do (for me and HN readers)
Any suggestions on what to do/ not to do would be much appreciated :)

Ask HN: Anyone want a Free promo code for my iPhone app?
Would anyone like a promo code to test my company's iPhone app? I have ten to give away valid in the U.S. app store.
It would be really cool if you could write a review on the app store afterwards. Be honest.... but be nice :)
