right, but that's why i followed up with "at least it did what was advertised on the box". this product is so bad at making "logos" that it teeters on the verge of not doing what's advertised on the box

Wasn't sure if by 'on the box' you meant the PHP book cover (meaning, you learned PHP) or your site did whatever you set out to do. :)
Loads of people on HN could likely build something 'better' by some metric, but of those, how many would still have the nerve to post it in public? I'm not sure I would. Although I've got something I'm planning to post to show HN sometime soon, my default mode is telling me not to post - someone might post something negative, and I'll be embarrassed!
FWIW, the OP isn't sharing the code, and you wouldn't have needed to show your original 1999 PHP code; just share the built service with folks. That's all most folks care about - the utility/value.
That said, there's nothing (yet?) compelling about this service that I've not seen done before. But it might be new/novel to some.
