Why are negative comments bad? I wouldn’t mind at all. Rudeness is not acceptable but people poking holes at your project is a good thing. People poked holes at Dropbox back in the day. Just take negative comments, grow a thick skin and move on. Please don’t hesitate one iota, would love to see your work.

The thing is, HN is a pretty safe place to test and get early feedback. Are the comments tell you it sucks? Hey, they cared enough to say it sucks, so incorporate their feedback and try again.

Most people who are negative here have high expectations or are clueless. Ignore if they are the latter kind!

I agree totally. And, as a one-man-band indie developer who is totally dependent on sales of my software to make a living, the pain of low sales is much greater than the pain of any criticsm. Also a lot of the comments have been incredibly useful, even if they were a bit painful.
