Friendly suggestion to all future "Launch HN's"... I think you may get better engagement with the link to your product right at the top of the announcement comment.
I'm sure lots of people are more interested in immediately checking out your cool thing and not necessarily having to read (or skim) a wall of text first :)
As a side note; I've noticed that Launch HN posts are typically very verbose as a rule. Maybe this reflects more on me, but I almost never read them, but still am often interested in the products/services themselves and will hunt down the link to just go and check it out.
It's great to have the backstory and detail there, but to those writing them, it's worth bearing in mind that a large % of people (possibly a majority?) will skim read at best. So link upfront and maybe a TLDR sentence would always be a good opener IMHO.
Edit: Also... congrats on the launch :-)
