The marketing design approach feels very off to me. You barrage me with an annoying scrolling marquee showing me the most abstract, unrecognizable logos telling me I should trust you because they do. 10+ companies on board feels rather small.

You said AI-driven analysis to identify logs, but I'm already skeptical of AI doing tasks like this, and you obfuscate it further by not actually showing me how it works, just another generic abstract marketing design graphic.

I dunno. It just seems like vaporware-as-a-service from the design vibes.

Early-stage startups often have websites that are little more than landing pages. That's because a full commercial website isn't in their critical path yet—first they need to build their product and attract early users, who don't typically come in through general web traffic.

That's one reason why Launch HNs usually include a demo video. That's the link you should be clicking on if you want to see these guys' product. If you do that, you'll see that it isn't vaporware.

We also advise startups doing Launch HNs to provide a link for users to try the product (preferably without a signup gate, but that's not always doable). There's such a link in the text above as well.

I suppose one way to avoid complaints about stub websites would be not to link to them at all—but then other comments would say "why would I trust you, you don't even have a website"!

Edit: I've replaced https://runsift.com/ with https://app.trysift.dev/docs in the text above. Perhaps that will help.

What's not recognizable about Duck, Square, Triangle, Asterisk, C, two different cubes, and the letter 'n'?

These, coupled with the random number generator to claim how many logs they're processing makes me wonder if the entire product is just AI generated slop.
