What do you see as the ideal response to your comment?

Do you feel that what you’ve said has been in service of soliciting that response?

I looked at the website for this app and got an idea of what it’s meant to do. I don’t think I’m particularly smart and found this to be along the lines of any other SaaS app marketing site.

If your gripe is that “anyone can claim that they’re powered by consumer reports”, are you also the sort of person to verify the claim yourself instead of outsourcing that to Hacker News? As made evident by another replier, more information was easily findable.

The link that was provided to the CR press release was a suitable response. That was enough to tell me that this thing probably actually is associated with CR, where I've been a member for over thirty years.

I still find it ironic that I learn about this thing here as opposed to official CR channels to their membership, but whatever.

Now, as it turns out, the product may well actually be associated with CR, but it's still a fail. At least for now, because they give me nothing beyond a blank page when I select the option to have them tell Home Depot not to sell my data.

I probably won't delete it yet, because I want to see where this product goes. And I want to see what it can do for me that DeleteMe (and other similar tools) cannot. But as of today, it's like the announcement of Twitter, and then getting nothing but a fail whale when I go there.
