Can we expect another comment or 3 from asura5? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48956314 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48952724 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46202090

How do people even find this kind of thing? Is it manually? Are there search tools for this?

deleted comment - I will never learn to ignore this kinda thing (referring to GP comment).

It's difficult to not get defensive when you put a lot of work into something and you receive what you feel are very unfair / unjustified comments.

Of course like anyone, when I do a substantial launch on HN I do tell friends. Most probably the referenced comments came from one of my friends trying to be helpful, but I don't actually know that - I have no idea who the account is in fact.

But I feel (perhaps wrongly) an accusatory tone in the very deliberate pointing out of this, and I just don't understand what is trying to be acheived. If you look at my submission history, comment history, and account age here I think one could probably assume good intentions and treat my submissions here with grace and benefit of the doubt.

But anyway, I regret making the original defensive comment and have re-learned the lesson to not do this as it just detracts from the quality of discourse. My bad.

Not what GP was going for, I think. They called out a green user with a very specific comment history and made no comment about this submission.

Indeed, you are probably right. My bad and I deleted my initial defensive riposte.

You're good, man. I get it. Your heart and soul goes into a thing and the only comment you get is 'hey, look at these other posts with this suspicious user activity'. Nothing about your work.

I've had to deal with this in various areas of my life. I can't say I have a good solution.

The money is in B2B. This is nice as a hobby project, but it won’t scale beyond that as meeting transcriptions/summarization are an actual business force multiplier. I wouldn’t quit your day job to go all in on this.

It's 100% intended for use in businesses!

I guess the whole point of it is that it isn't a transcription / automated summary tool :-)

It's a tool for people who want to use their own brain to pick out the key notes and actions in a meeting and get (and create!) a lot of value by doing so - not hand this off to AI.

Obviously some will do that but this tool isn't for them. It's not for everyone.
