I think that’s a bit harsh. HN should absolutely be a place to try stuff out, as long as you’re clear about it. OP was mostly clear, even though the homepage copy might not be ideal.
Somehow I have missed your comment. Wanted to thank you the support. And, fixed most of the copy as we speak. Stating clearly the stage the product is in and what's to come. The intention was "to promise", but I can see now that some of the copy could have sounded as if everything is ready now. An honest semantics mistake.
