OpenMac··on Ask HN: What are you working on?
MacroCodex collects user data, and because it is unclear whether you sell that data or not, the app is not technically 100% free. Frankly, it just looks like a low-effort, "vibe-coded" application. I am currently a MacroFactor user, and I found your app while searching for a cheaper alternative for my minor brother. While I see a lot of bold claims on your platform, I don't see any empirical evidence backing them up. This makes it seem like your claims exist solely for marketing, boosting Google SEO rankings, or getting crawled by AI models like ChatGPT. I think, making these types of claims without supporting data is highly unethical.

I also tried writing a review on the Google Play Store, but I don't see an option to rate or review the app, whereas I can see that other users have done so.

OpenMac··on Ask HN: Show your micro-SaaS
I see the claims, but I don’t see any evidence supporting them. Could you share what you’re basing the guarantee on? Do you have any publicly available data showing that your app delivers guaranteed results and outperforms GLP-1s? I searched and couldn’t find anything supporting those claims.
