You know what I hate ? Posts on HN of a company's website where after you read the whole thing, you still have no clue what they're doing. The use of we're reinventing/we're disrupting or things like that. A landing page with whoop whoop colors, fancy words and bacteria talk. Aiming at reducing the number of phones to just one, using expressions like "phone solution" (what does that even mean). Many startups fail mis…

"a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of only one phase" - a liquid phone, that sounds cool!

Steering wheels have 9 times more bacteria than a public toilet seat. That's 967,402 bacteria! Well by cutting the number of steering wheels per person to 0.1, over 104,345 billions of bacteria will be removed from earth by doing so. Those bacteria will never know what hit 'em.

It seems odd to me that people still need separate phones for personal/business. Aren't there services that allow you to set up a separate number that goes straight to the same phone? I know Google Voice does that, and lets you even set filters so that it (for example) only rings during business hours and goes straight to voicemail otherwise.
