If your work isn't ready for people to try out yet, please don't put "Show HN" in the title. Once it's ready, come back and share it then. https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
It's good for the community to tell us about these, since we can't notice them all. In the future, you (or anyone) are welcome to email us at hn@ycombinator.com to make sure we look at it.
I don't think the fact that the founder is commenting is relevant. I could chat with people about a theoretical or in-progress product quite easily.
I've flagged this submission. However much work has gone into it, GP is correct in saying that it's an email sign-up. Better for OP to wait until there is a product for people to use.
> Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread.
Which is what it is. It's not just an email sign-up. I think this is a perfect example of a good Show HN.

Until there is more than just a website with an email signup (i.e., an actual shipping email client), then it isn't something HN users can try out or give feedback on.
Again, thanks for actually bothering to make an effort to let me know -- rather than the people who downvted me without bothering to explain anything. Thanks mate.
