The comments on this thread are such an embarrassment. Someone's worked hard on something for months, and people go and piss all over it.

If you don't think this is a useful or good app, you don't even have to look at it. Just pass.

At least when someone launches a product, if you don't have anything encouraging or constructive to say, it's best not to say anything.

It seems HN is suffering more and more from the "Why wasn't I consulted?" angst - http://www.ftrain.com/wwic.html

Why is honest criticism not allowed? Don't you want to know why people are averse to your service so you can perfect it, no less directly from the people who would pay for it?
There's a difference between honest criticism and bashing someones hard work. 75% of the comments on this post are not honest criticism.
With no-bullshit audiences that tell it like it is, you sometimes need to read between the lines. I'm not condoning the behavior, but it is not foreign to HN and something to consider before posting here.
What gets me, is that all this hard work could be put into something way more useful. Instead it's wasted trying to re-invent the wheel. This app offers hardly anything if not nothing new.
