Actually that kind of feedback can be extremely useful to a creator... There might be a demographic worth targeting with "it looks cool, just install it!", but that's surely not HN...

Having a page detailing what the product offers never killed any marketing attempt (unless we are talking complete vaporware, that is).

I personally wasn't sure if I was looking at a game or some social app, and certainly I wouldn't install everything that shows up on HN for the sake of trying (we would wind up with a hundred apps per week, each with its own security clearance!)
