Hello can you please stop creating fake accounts with the purpose of boosting your post here. This is otherwise something interesting but im immediately turned off from ever even looking at it if this is how you try and promote your product.

It is plausible that some of these new accounts were made in response to this post, but I don't think its fair to blame the project's developers for it as it isn't necessarily in their control. It seems like they are seeking feedback from the community and there doesn't seem to be a commercial plug here.

These are not fake accounts, but actual developers in our community who have been using Garnet. While a couple of these accounts could be newly created (as not everyone has a HN account, and we announced the launch in our community forum), all comments are actual, and anyone is free to share their opinion on the project (negative or positive). We’d really appreciate if you don’t sabotage the post by responding on every comment, but would love to hear your actual feedback.

This is heavily discouraged here, and most of the times it will make users old angry and flag your post. I'd recommend that only 2 or 3 of the main developers are active in the thread. (Or perhaps a power user that is good replying instead or a developer.) There are not hard rules about this, but too many new users is a bad idea.

> all comments are actual

But some of the comments are too optimistic and look like shills, that make old users unhappy and flag the post. I'd recommend to write only one top level comment explaining that you are the developers, and some backstory, and then only reply to questions from old users.

It's very important to reply to technical questions, with clear and technical answers. It buys a lot of good will of old users. (Avoid adjectives like "awesome" , no one used "awesome" yet, but some comments are too optimistic for the dry style of HN).

> and anyone is free to share their opinion on the project

And everyone is free to complain and flag. It's not a good idea to break the explicit or implicit rules of the site. I think bogota first made a few technical questions. It's a good sign that some old user cares enough about your post to ask a technical question.

The questions are unanswered yet. It's not mandatory to reply to every single question (some questions are bad, sometimes they are repetitive, but not in this case). Anyway, I'd recommend to answer most of them.

Try to send an email to the mods and ask how to post again and any additional recommendation.

I did post comments to actually ask what people like about it and why they use this over vault. No one has actually posted anything of substance so please don’t pretend like i am sabotaging you by asking valid questions.
