Ohh, that makes sense haha.

@m00dy: please disclose when you’re talking about your own projects! It’s okay to plug your stuff sometimes, just be honest about it :-)

No, but you weren’t upfront about it either. I’ve suspected it looked like your own project but checked your comments in the profile and didn’t see any other, so I didn’t dig any deeper.

> I’m not here to promote anything just wanted to share a valid use case in the right context.

There’s a small difference: if one of your users did this it would be totally fair, but when a founder does this I think it’s a polite thing to disclose it. That’s what I’ve been doing when talking about my own project on HN [1], and I think in most cases other legit founders just say that upfront, too. I’m not sure if that breaks any rules, but it feels juuuuust a bit shady not to :-)

Do you have a tool to text search a user's comment history? Your comment is very specific: "seven"!

(Seems to have some weird cache issues though, had to play around with the ?querystring part to get more results)
