You can kind of smell it though and I smell nothing here, eventhough some of 100 listed authors should be HN users and write in this thread. Some obvious astroturf posts on HN seem to be on the template "Watch we did boring coorparate SaaS thing X noone cares about!" and then a disappropiate amount of comments and upvotes and 'this is a great idea', 'I used it, it is good' or congratz posts, compared to the usual cynical computer nerd everything sucks especially some minute detail about the CSS of your website mindset you'd expect.
