The comments can be so funny on HN sometimes. You built something and committed to it for a decade. That’s so freaking cool! Take all feedback with a grain of salt. You’ve been around longer than most apps that launch on Show HN. Keep it up!

  I signed up over 8 years ago and never gave a second thought about this. It still works. This is wonderful. Am still in the free plan. I'm going to upgrade even though i very rarely use it.

What comments can be “funny”? I just went through the top 40 comments on this post and I couldn’t see nothing but praise and congratulations (with a couple suggesting to raise prices, which I think are with good intent).

  You'll know that the top 40 comments are dynamic. The world doesn't revolve around you!

    They are ordered by a mix of recency and upvotes as far as I know. Which means the top 40 comments that I see are the same as you see, if I am correct, at the same moment. I understand the misunderstanding and the urge to correct me. I don’t understand the need for your accusation of egocentrism. Why did you do that?
    - TLightful 6y ago
      Because there's sand beneath your statements. In which case better to avoid the comment altogether. I wouldn't take it to heart though. The (!) was an attempt to make the accusation light hearted. I guess it failed. Anyway, I'm no authority here. Just here for potshots!

        I don’t know what “sand beneath your comments” means, if you care to explain.

      Not GP, but there seems to be a ~8h difference between your comment and the one you were responding to. It's possible the comments they saw then were different from what you saw. For whatever reason you didn't think of that. I agree that accusing you of egocentrism is uncalled for. It does nothing to raise the quality of the discussion here, in fact it lowers it. Thanks for not taking the bait and staying reasonable in response. I hope you get an answer to your question.
