I guess it’s more a matter of how would you feel if you debuted something and another person piled on their own competition. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If I were debuting a product, I think I'd feel a bit hurt and/or frustrated to see a competitor getting a big spotlight on the post.
But on the other hand, many (if not most!) F/OSS projects I browse on GitHub include direct links to antecedents, competitors, and clones in their READMEs. When something is a project rather than a product, I don't think authors always worry about having the spotlight the same way. At least, many authors seem to have no problem with their work being presented in the context of a range of alternatives.
Tbh, I don't think there's a singular answer here, even to the question of what empathy recommends.

I mean, you had a feeling it might be wrong, but did it anyway...

I tend to agree with the other comment - it's common for terminals to list / contrast each other rather openly. I don't know, I'm noticing people's opinion are split down the middle.
That said, it was a mistake for me as the author to do the direct comparison here.
I'm much more interested in your product, and wouldn't have known about it otherwise. Is there a way to be notified when you actually allow public access? Happy to pay for the final product.

No official mechanism yet besides an rss feed [0], but email me. Just let me know you're from HN and I'll put you on a mailing list.
