I&#x27;m a founder and I&#x27;m a developer. I&#x27;m not only hiring people aggressively (thanks to a successful startup) but I&#x27;m also spending a lot of time coding.<p>I spent my arguably valuable time to try out their service from both roles and my time was wasted because their service isn&#x27;t usable and &#x2F; or ready to be on the front page of HN.<p>I call bullshit on the beta and the response. Nowhere in the signup process was there any sort of notification that I would have to wait to get access. Nowhere on the site does it say &#x27;beta&#x27;. I shouldn&#x27;t have to enter my information in order to find this out.<p>If they wanted to make something special for HN readers, then look at the referrer. No need for special links.
