I don't like being negative on HN - but this doesn't feel like a good faith Show HN.

The product isn't available to use - it baits you into putting your email address in but then just tells you that you've been added to a waitlist.

Secondly, there are so many APIs like this. There are a few that are reliable and have been around for years - but there is an endless churn of new ones created, barely maintained and then abandoned. What is different about this one? There doesn't seem to be anything new about it or any specific reasons to think it isn't just yet another cloned SaaS product being "growth hacked" on HN.

We didn't mean to make it feel like a bait, we'll make it clear that it's a prelaunch. We'll correct that right away on the post and the website.

If you want me to unsubscribe you let me know.

And about your second point: Our data is more accurate and we have better customer support.

I know there are many products in this market, but it's more convenient for us to have a successful product than to start and stop with new things. If you'd like to get to know us, we're Zyla Labs, and have already built two products like this one.
