So much for changing the world, making a dent in the universe and all that, eh? How can someone build a COMPANY around a feature that does something so inconsequential and is basically "cute" at best? This is neither revolutionary nor innovative in my book.

I don't get it. No offense, but if this gets funding, then the Silicon Valley echo chamber has officially spread east and legitimate tech companies are doomed.

There are too many of these fly-by-night half-baked apps out there that people think they can become a millionaire from.

I can't wait until all this hype ends so people working on REAL problems can get back to doing REAL work.

Well that was a pretty mean thing to say. Not everything needs to be a cure for cancer or fix peak oil. We need some room for leisure. If the author had fun making something that provides him with some cash, I don't see what the harm is. That just leaves more easy "real" problems for people like you to go out and solve.

It's not mean, it's the truth. How many of you are going to pay for this? Honestly. This is a feature, not a COMPANY. Plain and simple.

Whatever you are doing is likely not as important or helpful as you think it is.

[USNetizen]

Yeah, you're right. Creating, supporting and maintaining nationwide systems and applications for everything from medical research and detecting fraud to enhancing the entire way the IT infrastructure of our nation's largest government and commercial agencies operate piece by piece is not very important.

Sorry, but what I do is far more meaningful than a COMPANY that creates an APP that replaces one picture with another. That is a feature, not a company. I'm sorry if honesty hurts your feelings, but this is not a world-changing application and it's hard to believe someone formed a company around it.

I'm hoping they "pivot" into something else with real meaning.

Why don't you tell us more about your super amazing company you started. Do a show hn.

I mostly agree, but if it's only as inconsequential as we think then it'll fail anyway, so no reason being upset about it.
