I'm sure most of the folks here enjoy the" Show HN:" posts the most - just like github has become the standard for putting your code out there, wish there was a dotcloud/heroku/appengine like standard that would provide a "Cool projects" feed to discover and get inspiration from. Ideally an integration of = "github + dotcloud + Show HN: feed" is what I long for - "Do things, Tell people" and get inspired from others in the network!
My main interest is ongoing project development logs but I have had people mention they would be interested in a way to "follow" developers which Swym seems to cover in an interesting way.
I'd argue that the people on HN are the ones you are likely to get the least benefit from. Show your work to people who can actually use it. Not likely to be HN members unless you're making development/server tools.
