Just say what your thing does. Or, better yet, show it to me in under 60 seconds.

Web sites are the new banner ads and headings like that are the new `<blink>`.

Exactly ... tired by all the marketing hyperbole talk. Just show what your product does in a simple example / showcase. If it's good, people will like it. You can save yourself a lot of text copy and user time that way.

They'll learn soon enough that selling to developers necessitates speaking clearly.

The problem is that when it comes to (commercial) developer tools and services, everyone can/wants to be everything, so why let a simple statement or a showcase limit you? "Hey, we are a container scanning service... But we can also be a container registry too, a CI, a KeyValue store, an agent sandbox provider, git hosting? We can do quick dev deployments/preview too. Want a private npm registry? Automated pull request reviews? Code Signing service? We are working on a new text editor btw"

I feel like these types of pages are less geared towards actual users of the product and more towards the investors who love the vague and flowery language. We're no longer in a world where the path to profitability was the objective goal anyway, it makes sense to me that the marketing of software is becoming decreasingly detached from reality..

It's almost like an extension of the "if you're not paying for the product, you are the product" idea. If you're assessing a tool like this and the marketing isn't even trying to communicate to you, the user, what the product does, aren't you also kind of "the product" in this case too?

But what if my product is just an attempt to make a cushy exit during the AI bubble?

It's been like this since the Dotcom era

Or did you forget that you can do anything at zombo.com?

It appears to be rather slow today, but here's a Wiki link for the uninitiated- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombo.com

[ziml77]

The domain expired a few days ago and was purchased by someone else and then changed. There's a recreation of the original here https://html5zombo.com/

Seems they install a Git hook or something that executes on commit and saves your chatbot logs associated with the commit hash. This is expected to somehow improve on the issue that people are synthesising much more code than they could read and understand, and make it easier to pass along a bigger context next time you query your chatbots, supposedly to stop them from repeating "mistakes" that have already wasted your time.

[eej71]

Its like a modern day redux of zombo com.

[layer8]

That’s a bit insulting to zombo.com.

[jtokoph]

I couldn’t figure out what they were doing in the first few screens of scrolling. Moved on.

[dmix]

You need to use AI to summarize the point of articles about AI products

[port11]

It’s also a completely meaningless headline. It could be the beginning of just about any Medium post, corporate blog, or cyberpunk Steam game.

Same, then I pasted URL to Claude and asked it to explain the product to me: Blocked. Irony is palpable.

They also seem bothered by color photography in 2026. All style, no substance.

[wellf]

What it does? Imagine a multi line commit message.

Yes yes a Dropbox comment. But the problem here is 1 million people are doing the same thing. For this to be worth 60M seed I suspect they need to do something more than you can achieve by messing around locally."

"Claude build me a script in bash to implement a Ralph loop with a KV store tied to my git commits for agent memory."

[rgxsh]

It is not the system that is on crack ...
