I wasn't talking about the "trash" comment specifically. It was a bad comment. Even if it was formed more constructively there's no value to be the 32nd blowhard to give a long winded version of "It would be nice if there were photos showing the whole machine on the product page"
I think one shouldn't say that on its own, as it's not helpful. But given that it's in the middle of a lot of clear and specific detail that includes an offer of help, I think it's fine as emotion-conveying hyperbole.
Then better to not to say it at all. I don’t think anyone on HN should call someone else’s work “trash”.
I personally really liked the website on mobile. Other than missing a demo video it communicated the value proposition.
