I'm surprised too. Isn't this essentially an ad? I guess it's OK because it's a free app.



So many things on HN could be considered ads. People often post about even non-major releases of SaaS products. The launch of a brand new powerful app and the entry of a big company into a new market seems a lot more newsworthy than most of those.


Isn’t everything an ad? Even when someone posts a GitHub link to their project?

Should we ban new iPhone releases from being discussed here? Other tech released as well?


The app is free
