There's not even a polite note indicating that it's closed source, so I don't have to scroll back up the page to make sure I didn't miss it.
In fact, I see zero indication that this product is even being marketed to technical users at all. Is it just spam (to HN users)?
Edit:
ilandsman, I can't reply to your comment; I can't PM you. Obviously, it's not clear to me how HN works. Thus, my answer should be taken with a grain of salt, but I'll provide it.
I think that I've read that a topic is suitable for use on HN if it is likely to be broadly "interesting" to the HN audience.
I find source code itself to be intrinsically interesting (and intrinsically valuable). Thus, I am interested in seeing posts about open source software, even if I find the functionality uninteresting. I may experience a eureka moment about one of my own projects while reviewing somebody else's code.
Closed source software, on the other hand, must be extra interesting, just to catch up. :)
There's no source. Non-starter.
