Personally I think this is very clever and a great hack. However, I'd like to know how long it took to create this and point out that the time would probably be better spent directly building the product given the startup's stage, rather than superficial pages. Then again, maybe the intention all along was to get traffic from HN, in which case I'm sure it was worth it.
- jtheory 15y agoHeh. You know, if you realize by the end of your comment that your initial point was wrong, you aren't still obligated to post the whole thing. It probably took the better part of a day (or even two, considering the photographs required etc.), and was probably time well-spent.
- bdclimber14 15y agoSorry if I came off as overly critical or attacking, I didn't mean to. I actually didn't know which was the case. To be honest, I have done similar "clever marketing" pages and spent much more time than I should have on them. Unfortunately for me, my goal wasn't to get HN traffic, nor did I even think about it. I just thought my users would like my startup better, but I realized they would like 1-2 days spent on the product even better.
