For anyone curious, here is a sample/demo page after creation.

https://www.trycelery.com/p/my-first-product

It looks solid.

I see that you mention that you have had quite a lot of press coverage for this.. by the "As Featured In".

I can't find any related articles though and I'd be interested in reading them :)

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=link%3Atrycelery.com

Plus site:techcrunch.com trycelery.com doesn't work, and neither can I find any articles on BetaBeat, Forbes or the NYT?

If you are truly backed by YCombinator (which I have no reason to doubt), I'd have expected to be able to read some coverage?

I did the same, it seemed odd to be showing HN as if it were a new launch, but already in NYT and Forbes. Couldn't find any articles anywhere but then noticed on the about page that it's YC/SV Angel backed.

Hey Chris, I'm one of the guys who worked on it. The company name is under Airbrite. We built an e-commerce API and Celery is powered off of it.

That is very misleading marketing speak, to the point of lying. You (or your copywriter) just killed Celery's credibility.

Point noted and we'll be fixing this. Thanks for the input.

If that's the case, then your pants are on fire.
