Please don't be dismissive of new work on HN, especially in Show HNs: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html.
People are allowed to make things even when other things like that already exist, and they're welcome to share them here. The spirit of Show HN is "hey, I made this," not, "I declare a claim to priority".
A better way to post a comment like this would be to mention specific other projects in the space and ask how this one differs.
For us, this was just a fun hackathon over the weekend. But who knows where it will go, maybe we'll continue developing it out and it'll become something more. We'll see.
You are right though! :)

For a long time we never shipped anything due to the need to try and make the next Facebook in one go. It crippled our creativity.
These days we've learnt that it's ok to build and launch something that's been done before, the most important thing is learning to launch. For us we launched this to get back into the swing of launching stuff after a few months since our last launch. This is entirely an MVP, built and launched in under 15 hours total design/dev time.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Colin.
I think its always good to do some fact checking...
