This exact same thing popped up in a discussion in the office today: exist team members were critiquing a potential new hire. Was so refreshing to get that input, instead of just having to rely on our (as founders) own judgement.

Wow, considering our very non-spammy business and revenue model, I'm surprised you find it this way. Actually pretty funny, as we've never spent 1 minute or $1 actually SEO'ing our own website. I couldn't care less about supposed keywords.

This is just personal opinion, but the kind of guys & girls that hang around on HN is pretty much perfectly the target audience for this project. I'm a regular reader of HN and not as much an active participant, but would love for the H

Hell yeah... I don't have the benefit of having offices this close to Squarespace, but after spending just one (awesome) lunch with Anthony & Dane I too can attest that they are super cool & extremely clever. :)
