The author Noah is using this for promotion while making fun of HN commenters https://twitter.com/noahwbragg/status/1451308730994212869

Maybe Show HN mosts need more guardrails to prevent shameless promotion. Producthunt is better suited for this.

I’m not sure that you can consider his tweet “making fun”, when it just references comments that others have in fact made.
The question about pricing is pretty legit given a free Wix or similar would probably be a better experience than jumping across Notion and Potion.

It's not "hackers are going to hack it for free", it's more "your grandma is making a website on Wix for free" and, it won't make you feel like a tech wiz or a startup cool kid, but it works.

That's also why I think Potion (and other startups targeting Notion and the incoming Notion marketplce) is pure business genius. I'm sure the target market will appreciate Potion. I had to try Notion for work and it's definitely not for me (slow and clunky) - but somehow they have a lot of evangelist in SF startups and I'm sure they won't care about paying 1 pumpkin spice latte per month just to say they made a website with Notion.
