You've been excessively promoting this on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/posts?id=denster). Most HN readers consider that spamming. Note the site guideline: Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

It's also in somewhat bad taste to appear to be making a positive contribution to the discussion of someone else's work while actually promoting your own, and you've done that twice in this thread.

(I hesitated to say something about this because Retool is a YC co and we moderate less in such cases (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...) but this principle is the same everywhere and I've made similar comments in many non-YC-related threads.)
