Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hey and thanks for checking out our product. I'd like to run a quick demo for you to show some cool features that we have. How can I contact you?

> Hey and thanks for checking out our product. I'd like to run a quick demo for you to show some cool features that we have. How can I contact you? Maybe just do the video like what they asked for, so we can all make the assessment, instead of turning it into a greasy sales pitch. Not going to lie, this response put me off completely.

Responding to someone actively expressing interest in your product by offering them a demo definitely doesn't qualify as "turning it into a greasy sales pitch". They've clearly built the product to be a low touch experience so offering to run through it with someone is actually very pro-active of them.

Some feedback:

- I skimmed the whole page and screenshots and I still don’t have a clue how it actually works. You need a video/gif of the thing being used.

- I hate the title font, it’s too wide and doesn’t fit the aesthetic

- The info text below one of the carousel things kept changing with the carousel, making it impossible to read.

- The quotes and photos are clearly fake, which makes the whole thing feel kinda scammy

Heya, thanks for your feedback. I definitely make a demo video showing how it works. I will look into UI as well, there's surely a lot to make it better!

As for quotes I think that's really bad idea, probably remove them until I get a real ones

Honestly, it's a Show HN. They might not have customers yet, and in which case SOMETHING has to go on the marketing site or you'd be complaining about the lack of testimonials.

Lying about testimonials is worse than no testimonials.

FWIW, the quotes may be real but the photos not. Either way dishonesty is not a good way to start a business relationship…

Right, and now we're complaining about the fraud.

Poor customers don't have money to plan. Rich ones just don't care about how to plan, they care about earning more. Useless stuff then ?

...are you seriously arguing against the very concept of planning in order to take a shot at this solo engineer's hard work?

This could be a warning/alert for hard work ? You want a praise ?

In my experience, rich people are rich because they know how to manage their money (in addition to earning it, building it). It's only the people that care about status (i.e. appearing rich) that flaunt their money around. That's before you even add in customers like startups that need to budget with other peoples money (burn rate).

For pricing plans, is spreadsheet best use case for ?
