This is genius! As a designer & storyteller I love this and I’d like to support you guys with my team’s UI design power (we occasionally help open source or charity projects for free). Reach out if you guys could need some UI design help. Details in my bio.

It's a nice gesture but why not email them directly with the contact info on the website? Maybe I'm being a prig but this post seems like an ad, free or not
You're not alone in your sentiment. There are a few posts around here that do not "feel" like a typical Hacker News post. So my astro-turfing alarms are going off.

Granted, this looks like a good tool (at minimum: a very good marketing page), and the practice of astroturfing is unfortunately utilitarian (aka: it works ) in many contexts. But there's something offputting about some of the comments on this story right now.

With that being said: I'm not entirely sure if this tool is best suited for the hacker news audience? Its definitely more of an art tool, while the audience around here is more programmer / technical.

Why not just help with some tips here?
