Sorry if I came off as overly critical or attacking, I didn't mean to. I actually didn't know which was the case. To be honest, I have done similar "clever marketing" pages and spent much more time than I should have on them. Unfortunately for me, my goal wasn't to get HN traffic, nor did I even think about it. I just thought my users would like my startup better, but I realized they would like 1-2 days spent on the product even better.
It probably took the better part of a day (or even two, considering the photographs required etc.), and was probably time well-spent.
