I also believe that if you want to get votes from those who browse the new section (and I think you should assume most of them already know about your app), then you better wait until you make major announcement (e.g. code being open sourced), or at the very least make it clear what's changed.. In this case it seems like you've added Facebook support, which I'd consider worthy of a new announcement. However, while you should expect people browsing 'new' to be familiar with 'eul', you shouldn't expect them to have memorized which clients were already supported the last time it reached the frontpage (especially since you at that time mentioned clients that hadn't received support yet)..
Perhaps in your future Show HN threads, you can add a comment linking back to the original thread, and explaining what changes makes it worthy of being resubmitted, after being on the frontpage less than two months ago.. I really worry that attempting to promote your site with 3 (perhaps even more) accounts, two different websites, and constant deletion/resubmission, will end up severely hurting your chances of success with the HN crowd. That being said, I do believe that you have 90+% chance of reaching the frontpage if you make a Show HN submission with the Github repo after it's been open sourced, and I'm sincerely rooting for your success :)
