Oh, this is cool. There are lots of things like your app out there but this is the best implementation I've seen so far. Great work!
Thanks very much! It's still a big novelty and great pleasure for me to hear positive feedback. I really appreciate it.
I haven't done any promotion for http://asoftmurmur.com besides posting to reddit and HN, and it now has 400-500 regular daily users. It depends entirely on what type of product or service you're offering. Another key thing is to understand the community. There is radical cultural diversity between subreddits which manifests in very different reactions to self-promotion. It's essential to engage appropriately and res…
I've grown https://www.uncover.com (a simple tool to give employees perks and rewards) in various different ways. A lot of it began with telling my network of friends who run startups. Getting them signed up. Then getting them to tell their friends how much they liked it. Once that source was depleted, I began to do a lot of content marketing. I started writing for a lot of different blogs, websites, etc. That helped…
We're targeting software engineers & smaller startups looking to hire in the bay area. Find an icebreaker and when they naturally ask what you do, have your elevator pitch ready. If they're interested they'll ask you for url info or start downloading it on the spot. If not, no worries.
We often work at coffee shops in that area. When someone starts talking, we're happy to chat. Typically when they need to plug in a laptop or they ask you to watch their stuff. Attending meetups that your target audience goes to can be very worthwhile.

Oh man, I love this. I've been using it since you've posted to HN. For the life of me, though, I haven't been able to remember the name the last couple time's I've wanted it (and my bookmarks are horrendously disorganized at the moment), and googling different iterations of "white noise generator sliders people birds rain" didn't yield success. I need to stash this away somewhere I won't lose it...
Hey, thanks! I have actually wondered about the name thing. It is a little whimsical, and I guess it would be easy to mix up with lots of similar descriptions like "a quiet buzz" or "a gentle burble". From that perspective, it might have been better to choose something more memorable. The site won't rank well in google for descriptive terms because it doesn't contain a lot of text. Even for terms it does contain, it…
Based on your other comments it seems like you really know what you're doing in these spaces. I'm no expert, but based on all the positive feedback, capturing organic search traffic could help you kill it. Show them and they'll stick.

Digital Point is a great lead, thanks! Why do you think Flippa? I imagine people looking to get rid of their property for money are less likely to pay to monitor its analytics? Then again, it could be a good audience for people who own multiple properties.
Exactly, I guess a solid number of Flippa users own multiple websites for profit, so they should be interested in tight control of stats. You may also e.g. post a sell offer for your web app and a) a number of your target clients will see your pitch, b) you may end with a nice exit at an early stage, so only good things may happen! ;)
