Congrats on the launch!

I know it is truly the peak of the spirit of Hacker News to make the first comment a nitpick, but the fact that your name is a play on Pentagon but your logo is a hexagon causes me irrational levels of emotional distress.

Oh interesting, we never actually thought of it that way—we just had a friend design this logo for us and this is what he came up with. And USPTO never complained, so we didn’t think about it too hard ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
