This thread feels astroturfed, or at least like some overly enthusiastic friend-posting.

Buncha low activity accounts posting marketing copy style testimonials.

I’m not saying it was necessarily intentional manipulation, but it feels off for a Show HN.

No kidding. Several comments are from account less than 24 hours old and very low effort. I wonder if the author reached out to friends to give positive reviews or (being cynical) hired someone to bloat the comments.

In either case, it's a bad look for what looks like a cool product and they may have seriously misread the user base of HN, who do _not_ like to be duped.
