Launch HN: SigmaOS (YC S21) – A MacOS web browser designed for faster work
This really feels like it would have had a better time with a smaller &quot;meet the batch&quot; thread. Given that which startups get to be featured in one of those threads rather than a standalone thread is decided by dang, it almost feels like this thread was intentionally greenlit standalone to start a flamewar. The odds of that are slim, probably, but it seems impossible that anyone thought this was a good idea to give its own thread rather than a smaller and more under-the-radar spot in a group thread.<p>It&#x27;s so early that it has support for effectively a single version of a single operating system (it isn&#x27;t even an <i>OS X</i> web browser, it&#x27;s a macOS browser), it doesn&#x27;t have ad blocking or extensions, it doesn&#x27;t look like it fits the HIG of <i>any</i> operating system, let alone the one it was apparently purpose-built for, it really drastically needs a designer, and to top it off it&#x27;s got a subscription model in a genre of software that has never worked well at even a one-time price.<p>There has never been an iteration of HN that would have given this product at this stage of its development anything but a disaster of a thread. I&#x27;m not going to insult the product (I doubt I&#x27;d say anything that someone else hadn&#x27;t already said), but I can&#x27;t see how anything productive or useful would have or <i>could have</i> possibly came about from this thread.
