I am frankly baffled by the choice of "for hustlers"; my associations are "drug dealer", "scammer", "thief", "dishonest person" and so on (I'm not a native speaker, so I'm not sure how correct/common that is. Urbandictionary seems to point in the same direction[1]). I can let that slide, but "handcrafted UI components" (as opposed to what?), and then a reference to my dreams followed by buzzwords.. I don't understand why you would use this angle for a technical audience - if you have 100+ good components, that is impressive in itself, show the code! I completely understand that making a good website and slogans etc is very hard, so I am willing to spend some time to look at code. But you're making me jump through hoops, I'm not willing to do that even for a second. It leaves me wondering if signing up will even get me a repository/download link or is there some activation or profile bullshit? How many e-mails will I get, who do you share my address with, and so on.. If it's "absolutely free", why is it not using an established license? 1: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hustler http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hustler

I think hustler is to the startup CEO what ninja is to a developer. Leaves you wondering if the IT sector is run by high schoolers.

  Isn't it just a generational thing? Ninjas hailing from the earlier martial arts craze, hustlers from later gangsta rap.

    Both choices are equally infantile, so whatever =)

I think it comes from the context of growth hacking. Typically, growth hackers come in three forms: hackers, hipsters and hustlers.

  I hope I will never have to work with you.

    It's not because I know something that I agree with it..

Hey, thanks for you time. Hustler is often referred for Go-getter entrepreneurs and personalities. I completely understand that its real meaning is profane for most of the audiences as I can see from comments and feedback. I had already changed the communication on my webpage, will surely change it in my next ShowHN for a newer version of underexpress. This is mostly directed towards web-developers/small tech entrepreneurs/app makers, who want a landing page sort of website, so focus is more on giving them something to ship quickly and not showing code [which is also available once you download]. I am working on a established license, will soon update it, for the time being I had placed a link to license in the footer.
