If you guys can pull this off - and it actually WORKS - I'll be so excited, I can't even tell you.
We've signed the access contract and we're getting ready for a beta launch in the next few weeks. If you, or someone you know, is interested on building something with the api, send me a quick email at mike@3dot.com and I can get you early access.

The Show HN guidelines explicitly ask you to have more than just an email signup.
Sorry. I checked the guidelines linked at the bottom of the page, but I didn't know there were a separate set of guidelines for "Show HN". I'll make sure to follow them in the future.
Maybe it would be possible to show an abbreviated set of guidelines in the compose page when /show hn/i is detected in the title?
