Wow. Reading the negativity in some of these comments makes me want to think twice about sharing something I've made with HN. That's a bad thing.

It's not perfect. It's not the first time anyone's ever had this idea. Maybe you wouldn't hire her. Who cares?

Not everyone's running for best-most-perfect-idea-in-the-universe-ever. She made a thing. Good on her.

Negative comments? Eat em up. Take note of what people dislike (be it even solely out of jealousy or spite, which is the vibe some of these comments give me) and work them into making your next creation even better.

It's easy to criticize. Surely anyone who does like it doesn't have much to say other than an obvious "it's good".

I don't think it's wrong though that people point out what they don't like, or would improve on. It's doesn't mean the person giving feedback is right, but it does allow the person who created it to take it into consideration.

Honestly, if you get feedback that's 'hard to take' it's probably because you know it needs to be changed.

Agreed. As a newbie in the HN community hoping to share some of my work soon, this is really disappointing. There's a difference between being constructively critical and judging. I would welcome more of the former.

Don't let it stop you. Understand going in that there will be noise in the feedback, and to sort through it to extract the valuable feedback. Its not personal, because the judgmental don't really know you.
