Congrats on the launch! We are building something in this space as well https://closer.so

IMHO if you're going to shill your wares on someone else's Launch HN you could at least say why anyone would prefer you. Saying "me, too" is worse than nothing because you're rolling the dice on being rude but also not trying to inform anyone in exchange for the risk

Yeah it's always a fuzzy area but I like what Mitchell said about this: https://x.com/mitchellh/status/1759626842817069290

It's natural for people to post comments linking to similar things (products, projects, articles, you name it), and "how is this different from $Foo?" is one of the most common kinds of question. But launch threads (which can include Show HN threads) are a bit special.

Hey, totally accept the criticism - thank you! Unlike Nomi, in Closer we focus mostly on admin work - the work even the greatest salespeople dread the most. The tool is sort of a Cursor meets Shortwave/Superhuman meets Notion but fully connected to all your org data. Congrats to the team for launching!
