Petals does look interesting.

I think his descriptions need work though.

You know it got some good traction in this submission? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34215665

Yes, and I still don’t understand why this submission got successful while others didn’t! He tried “Show HN”, it failed. I thought that his title was too unclear, tried submitting myself as an ordinary link, it failed. Then TechCrunch wrote an article, he tried submitting TechCrunch link, it failed. And some weeks later, someone completely unrelated submitted the link, and it blew up!

There's a lot of luck involved with HN.

You really need a couple of interested people to see it at the same time and start a conversation.
