- duiker101 7y agoI mean... aren't all Show HN sort of adverts? How is this different?
- sys_64738 7y agoIt has a 10$ price tag.
- duiker101 7y agoAnd? It doesn't matter how simple it is, if it's FOSS or not. OP made something and they are showing it to HN. Let's not forget that HN is part of YC, who's sole purpose is to fund companies to make money, not charities.
- sovande 7y agoIt links directly to the Mac App Store which open MAS on my Mac. It's kind of rude. Their web-page does not contain any text describing the product, there is a simple video which could be linked instead. The product is at least 1 year old, judging from comments in the App Store. Usually a Show HN thing is a bit fresher. I agree with OP, this feels less like a Show HN and more like "oh by the way, we should post a Show HN the buy button".
- dang 7y agoThe general rule for Show HNs is that there has to be a way to try out the product or project. That means different things in different contexts, since e.g. hardware can't easily be "tried out", so we tend to adapt that rule some. But I think you're right that there should be more information with a software Show HN, even though it isn't a web app.
- aracena 7y agothank you for the information I didn't know that, We offered to many people who asked to try the app to write us to h@effortless.app and we will give it to them. Hopefully next time we will do a better show HN thank you
