Regular "TL;DR" comments are also off-topic? You're the boss, but my personal view is that this is a very legitimate way to promote his Apply HN: it is a summary from the post (I've always appreciated TL;DR comments); it is a demo of the product (it does not supplicate for upvotes through any sort of friendship appeal, only invites those from a legitimate audience who liked the demo to support his Apply HN); From the FAQ: Can I ask people to upvote my submission? No. Users should vote for a story because it's intellectually interesting, not because someone is promoting it. Well, this is promotion, but also it is a promotion that ask you to judge if the idea is interesting and upvote if you agree.
