Just show it. HN folks are curious types. Give them the keys, they'll take it for a drive, be pedantic about flaws they don't really care about, and then buy it

Just show it. HN folks are curious types. Give them the keys, they'll take it for a drive, be pedantic about flaws they don't really care about, and then buy it. You shouldn't have to explain it very much. That's also why waitlists are frowned upon here. There's little to play with and no buy button. The final product can also be quite different. There's usually a lot of negative comments on Show HN. That's because there's no downvote for topics here. People who like it upvote without comment, those who don't usually leave a comment. And frequently they get to the point, without thanking and such. Don't be discouraged by those.
