I tried a Show HN for one of my projects. It's now dead. For my latest, Fork the Cookbook ( http://forkthecookbook.com ) I actually approached bloggers and talked to them, one by one. It's a tedious task, but I absolutely refuse to buy ads except for quick tests.

um i added recipes, now how do i search? is there a search functionality ?

I write a blog since 2001. So I am a known person in the design field. Over the years I have created a kind of network of readers which access anything I create or publish in my blog. That's the fastest way, and pretty healthy way to start. Then I try to open the case using paid advertising methods.

I also tried "Show HN" and Betali.st for my project - sideprojectors ( http://www.sideprojectors.com ). They are good starting points. I think Reddit also has a sub-reddit regarding startups. As a shameless plug, would you like to post your project on SideProjectors? :) I'm doing a private beta testing at the moment with a handful of users. It's a showcase/discovery too for side projects.

I just posted my project on your website. It looks amazing, and the experience was great. when are you coming out of beta?
