Canoneo, great way to subtly market your product. This looks like a new site (domain from May 2016).

Kudos on this very slick move. Instead of trying to advertise yourself on HN, you just used your product as intended, with content specifically suited to the audience on HN. With this, you drive very organic traffic that proves the value of your tool to people who have never heard of you. Loving it!

I would call this a no-launch.

Plus you will probably make several hundred to several thousand dollars on the Amazon referrals! Great move, I am definitely adding the no-launch to my playbook...

Is this comment supposed to be ironic? Sounds sorta like it, but I don't really see anything wrong with demonstrating a product like this.

no irony. a tip of the hat, nod of recognition. but also raising awareness of what is really happening. i respect the move, its creative and effective.
