Note to HN commenters: it's always nice to think, and express, "wow, you shipped a thing" before diving into a solid wall of criticism.

This fella has got over the biggest, greatest hurdle of them all - actually getting something out of the door - so should be commended for that. This is not to say that well thought out criticism isn't useful, of course it is, but maybe lead your comment with "Hey, amazing work on getting this far! ...if I may here's a couple of extra suggestions.." rather than "you should name it X / do Y / I didn't like Z".

Just a thought.

I appreciate that. However, I did know what I was getting into. :)
Indie developers quickly develop a thick skin. That said, it is always nice to get a compliment.
