Your 24 hrs fame on HN is probably adding zero value to your startup. I don't understand why ppl get so excited when they got techcrunched, nonetheless HNed. Anyway change your name, I thought that was obvious reading into the comments of that thread.
- chaosmachine 15y agoIf your customer base largely consists of the kind of people who read HN, there's really no better place to launch.
