Congrats on the launch! Some weird, random feedback—-I found the background music in your demo video surprisingly distracting! That probably seems petty but for me it was the strongest impression from interacting with your post.

The super bubbly chime vibe didn’t match my expectations for your brand based on the copy, value prop, fact that you’re posting on HN, etc. Reminded me a bit of the flat, corporate videos I’ve seen from B2B orgs, like “look, our tool is compliant and exciting, really!” (Just the music, overall it’s fine).

Music also doesn’t match the low, quiet LockpickingLawyer-esque voiceover. Which I thought was fine, seemed sincere, scrappy, matches the brand.

I’d experiment with different royalty-free music options, and maybe lower the level a bit more and/or boost the voiceover to make it easier to understand. Hope this is helpful!

SUPER helpful, thank you! Honestly, I was pretty torn about the music choice, so it's good to hear this feedback. Will definitely consider a change in the future.

And good to know I sound "sincere". That'd be at the top of my list for how I'd like to come off!
