The design of this site seems identical to the graphic design that Adafruit used for their I2C address compilation advertisement art[0]. I don't want to jump to the conclusion that this is a ripoff - is this a standard design template that someone offers? [0] https://learn.adafruit.com/i2c-addresses/overview

Probable source in question:

I am learning to ignore any kind of application that has the "in your city" message. Basically it is, "in your city if it happens to be a major metropolis" - which is not where some of us live.

Why is it the app's fault you live in the middle of nowhere?

It ain't. And likewise, it ain't the app's fault that it's currently useless to the overwhelmingly-vast majority of people in the US. But that's how things go, of course: start in the big cities, then branch out to more and more as the idea catches on.

Also, I'd hardly call Sacramento "the middle of nowhere", what with the million+ people in and around it. Nor would I call any other 1m+ population metropolitan area such.

But what do I know? I'm just some hick who grew up in "the middle of nowhere".

The underlying source I believe they are using seems to have other cities. For example I checked out Cambridge UK as an example of a small city: https://www.songkick.com/metro_areas/24571-uk-cambridge

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Seems totally reasonable. An alternate way they could have given you feedback is: Seems like a idea, be interested if it was in my area.

What's wrong with honest feedback against clearly outrageous marketing? Serious question. Not trying to troll.

Nothing is wrong with honest feedback of course, but I think it's a bit harsh to disregard a product based on its infancy and inability to serve your market. Companies grow, markets expand, etc. How would you suggest they market differently?
