The aesthetic is poor IMO in the sense that it is hackneyed. I’m not too familiar with CSS frameworks to immediately point out bootstrap from tailwind from another, but we should all agree that there are groups of websites that use a common layout and visual style which leverages typefaces like Inter, or San Francisco, or other “Sweatpants Grotesks” (think of Helvetica in a pair of tapered sweatpants with grey new balances and an unbuttoned Cardigan waiting for his Tesla to charge).
I do immediately recognize that a product is being offered in some fashion, but it’s more about how it’s being offered, as if it is something ostensibly, potentially life-changing. I think there a few HN members who know that there are plenty of products shown on HN that use emotionally jarring language that dances around the fact that the product is something that functionally is not as enigmatic as it’s advertised.
There is plenty of something else mixed in there also, but if you can’t tell I’m working off of a hunch right now. I would need to sit down and do a concentrated analysis to get everything that I feel across to you, if I ever had the chance to do so.
