alt Hacker NewsAnd when do you expect my approach will stop to work? The core features are complete and the codebase is already sizable.
I will not publish my app on GitHub for free. It's a paid app, and I am putting in the hours not for your approval, but for commercial gain.
I also do not think it wise to link my HN account to my real name and expose my opinions and comments to my employer and colleagues.

Then you may as well said you've solved P=NP.
We do not require links to your app. What people are expecting is a description of your approach and sample outputs. So that someone else can try it and have the same standard of output. That's how you make a point that your approach is good.
When we buy books like "The Practice of Programming" or "The Pragmatic Programmer", it's because we are hoping to learn useful and productive behaviors. It isn't to hear boasts about how good the authors are good at using tools.
Even self-help books follow this pattern: Do this, expect that. They're not "Have you tried this too" or "I don't know about you, but I've got good results myself".
