Probably because the HN community isn't the target market for your startup (political campaigners) but is for this one (OCD about productivity and email).

Not to continue the off-topic, but I've noticed this problem and started a mailing list just focusing on review requests (http://minvp.com). Of course, that too dropped off the new page with no comments :)

Liked the idea. Just subscribed.

I like the idea too, but would rather subscribe to an RSS feed. I get enough email already...

Haven't advertised yet, but if you go to http://minvp.com/apps you'll find everything I send out in the email.

You have an interesting app. I think many of us, at least myself, may not really get it. I'm not that familiar with phone banks for political campaigns. But 16 days is a pretty good turnaround. :)

Luck plays a factor in this.
