I wanted to post a couple times but as I am still fixing and improving things and never thought that I am ready to post it yet.

#2There will always be more work you can do. You need to just draw a line in the sand and everything else can be done later.

Yeah, I am about to draw it soon, lately I have been thinking about the Mark Zuckerberg quote "Done is better than perfect" :-)

That quote is a derivative of a long known anonymous quote, "It's easier to be finished, than to be satisfied". You can call it done whenever you want - or tweak it forever . . .

#7Any time will do. Someone analyzed best times and posted an article here a while ago, but I've seen show hn's posted on Sunday afternoons stay on the front page till Monday. Just ship it.

#8There is no perfect formula for posting. Some say you should post on Wednesday, 5pm PST etc., but it doesn't mean you will sky-rocket with up votes.
Personally I avoid weekends, but HN is hard anyway (At least I had no luck.).

#9Projects are never done. You'll always be improving, releasing new versions, fixing security issues, making your application/product fit in with the rest et cetera.
A good moment to show HN is, I guess, the moment where your potential users can really see what your app will be like when it's near completion, in a way that they will share it with others. And about your "product": good luck!
