The current title "An affordable, portable and focused device for music, writing and coding" reads like an ad

I would recommend digging deeper than the title in general, and especially when on HN. This is a nerdvana-level product.
At $59, I don’t see any of that being not true.

a lot of posts on HN are submarines anyway, so I don’t see an issue

So? So does “NewLang, an untyped colorless language with runtime reflection and low cost abstractions”. You see plenty of titles like that all the time. And they are most certainly soliciting you.
Yeah, I thought more than half the point was to post new things you create for fun or for your company. Of course they're going to sound like ads, the bar is whether it's interesting. It's certainly more interesting in a hobbyist/hacker/entrepreneur way than a press release about the latest version of Android.
Yes, lots of stuff linked on HN is an ad, or has been paid for by someone to convince you of something. Welcome to the internet.
This comment looks like an ad for the internet ad. We need more ADs haha
