Nice clickbait title for advertising their own product concealed as a 3 sentence "retrospective", good thing HN allows submitters to change titles to something more descriptive and less clickbaity than the original...
On the postitive side, the product itself looks quite sleek. I could use some of the features myself to limit my own time on HN, or the time my wife spends on facebook.
We're always happy to change baity titles if someone suggests a better one.
The post is a bit lightweight, but that's made up for by the substantive discussion. The author clearly struck a nerve. It's ok for that to be rewarded with a top spot on HN, even if the post is promoting something.
