Looking at my submissions, you're correct that my recent activity has been too focused on my own projects. As a solo dev in launch mode, I've been overly focused on that, and I need to do a better job of contributing to the wider HN discussion. I appreciate the reminder of the guidelines.
My intent here was not a "Show HN" because the topic wasn't about app itself, but the phenomenon of rapid cloning and what it means for the app ecosystem. Something I thought was a genuinely interesting topic for this community.
I can see how it comes across as a ruse, and I should have been more prepared to substantiate the claims. I wanted to talk about how something like this is not app specific. I've been hesitant to post direct links to the other apps because I don't want this to turn into a witch hunt. In the world of LLMs who know what including those links will do to AI Overviews.
Thanks for holding me to a higher standard and for the critical feedback.
