It seems I'm the only one who agrees with you. The project is really cool in itself. Saying I'm 14 makes it difficult to judge whether people are truly impressed or just impressed this was done at 14.

It certainly is impressive at 14, but I suppose I dont feel like we should be making 14 year olds feel like they're less capable.

Then again, in the end its a matter of questioning the purpose of Show HN. If its to boost your ego, and there's certainly nothing wrong with needing that from time to time, adding the circumstances helps. On the other hand if you're looking for improvement, it seems better that people look at what you made without the bias or lowered expectations.

Either way, this is awesome =]
