Agreed. In case the OP is reading, I'm left with the feeling of having been duped into reading an advertisement where I had intended to lend a helping hand. I invite the OP to consider just how bad this is: I feel like my benevolence has been punished.
Tricking people is not a good marketing strategy. Part of the reason I visit HN is to see what others are doing. "Hey, look at this business I'm lauching" would have been an infinitely better headline.
Don't deceive. People will resent you for even the smallest, most insignificant deceit. Exhibit A: me, right now. Objectively, you haven't really hurt me, but I'm still ticked off. ;)
haha! no way.. The site is literally 2 hours of work and no way can be called a 'product'.
This question popped into my head while working on the prototype.. I'm sorry if you feel misled but that wasn't my intention at all

No need to apologize! I just wanted to give you my earnest reaction, as I suspect others may have reacted like me.
And 2 hours of work is still a product! It's an efficiently-built product, which is a good thing!
