"Get Perks at Local Restaurants & Bars" shouldn't be title cased. It should be "early beta" not "early Beta". The ellipsis after the "etc" should be a period. There are many others too.

There were a ton of comments that were incredibly constructive and valid. I appreciate it's your site and you're not beholden to anybody, but almost all the criticism that was given was ignored.

Also, you can edit comments on HN rather than leaving a second as an afterthought.

I just saw the webpage for the first time. I agree with you. The writing is very poor on this webpage. Many sentences were awkwardly worded.

>Perks include offerings like free appetizers, complimentary drinks and more.

This is one of the awkward sentences that I found hard to comprehend at first..

And "early beta" is still not changed..

Fixed those errors. Thanks.

I did make a lot of changes suggested. I changed my about page a lot, and made copy changes to much of the stuff on the homepage. Keep in mind that this site is still a work in progress and I got caught up with other stuff the rest of the week. I will probably make more of the HN suggested changes later. I'm just saying that not all recommendations fit in with the author's view on something.
