Huge well done on launching.
I can see a significant amount of scepticism in the comments, and I think that much of the feedback is valuable and important, such as the lack of a 'point of difference', interface, value-add above existing solutions, etc.
But, a little disappointed with the pessimism in the comments in general. Someone has gone out of their way to build something from scratch and, regardless of whether it ticks all the boxes at the moment, I think that deserves positivity and a big 'well done'.
Projects rarely ever launch 100pc perfect -- or even 20pc perfect. It is best to launch, adapt, and iterate.
Note to poster: try to imagine that all the comments here start with 'Well done for launching, but something you might want to think about is...' Lots of the points are valid and require your attention, but they have been presented in a defeatist and negative way -- as if your launch is the end of matter and, as a result, it is all doomed to failure rather than providing a springboard to change, improve, and pivot as required.
- jayroh 4y agoI really appreciate this comment. Thank you for framing it this way, sincerely. Doing the work is hard. Putting yourself out there in a vulnerable state and hoping for the best is almost AS difficult. So, the best of luck to the OP. Adapt and grow.
- tacoluv 4y agoAgreed with all points. Also, look at the comment histories of most of the negative commenters. Haters gonna hate.
- pvg 4y agoBut, a little disappointed with the pessimism in the comments The comments change as the thread develops so if you really want to help a Show HN out, just write your positive comment (or whatever other comment) about the thing without the meta. It ends up being either inaccurate or generating more meta. Let the Show HN be about the thing showhn.
