In general I think “Show HN” can be a WIP or a beta (for example the ruby/python/JavaScript libs all say “coming soon”). I do agree that if judged as a sales page and not a WIP it is half-baked

I like how whenever I start losing faith in HN out of the blue encouragements in the form of your comment manifest.

Contact us is mailto: link, if you don't have a default mail handler in your browser that maybe the issue.
Fixed the 404s and included GDPR.
To see the cost a free account needs to be created first.
The page Usage explains what the SDKs are for, you don't have to use them if you're ok with using _curl_, etc.

also the `thecomputer` and typing an invalid command (emoji) rubbed me the wrong way
- No privacy policy (404)
- Contact leads to about:blank
- Unclear of what it actually costs
Nah thanks, I do business only with valid partners. Seems to me this is a product that actually isn't available, and that this is just a landing page.
As a European, I can certainly not use it if your service isn't GDPR conform (so that's also important).
While I like the general idea, a lot of pages in the blog (documentation!?!?) seem incomplete, too.
I have no idea what the SDK is for, or how to try it out with the first "free requests".
