"So… apparently it took me over 5 years to launch Secrets "

I think the developer invested nearly 6 years into it, and the comment about 6 months was time elapsed since initial release and doing the Show HN. It sounds like it was a spare time project for an indie developer.

Exactly. I've been building this for years on my free time.

Don't take my harsh criticism personally. I too enjoy to build things for the joy of building, and I respect your achievement. I just doubt the world really needs what you built, perhaps because I'm not your target audience, and I understand the trade-offs I made when choosing to commit to 1Password that I don't feel like any alternative is compelling.

None taken ;). I understand your point of view and hopefully we can iterate on the foundation we've built and make a more compelling argument for you in the future.
