Why would anyone choose to sell a node.js boilerplate as a scam? Sounds kinda twisted to me, as if you had to find a fault of some sort. I tried to follow advice from people who i thought successful on HN or so they claimed, I'm still trying my way around on the platform I'm just wondering if you are going to encourage me or just try to take me down?
Not saying that your thing is a scam. I meant that I don't see a reason to do it unless you're selling a scam.
What "successful" people told you to astroturf? Don't believe that bullshit. It's an instant red flag on any platform. How can I trust you as a business partner if you're okay with doing that?
If I buy something that's supposed to form the base of my own business including handling payments and data of my customers, I consider that a very serious, very important business partnership. So I will choose very carefully and behavior like this doesn't exactly make me confident in this choice.
Which is a pity because otherwise I'd be interested.
I understand what you mean now. How could we re-establish trust? I'm not asking so you'd buy my product. It really saddens me that you thinks I might be a scammer so I'm willing to show you otherwise. Would you be willing to try my product out, check out the code, make yourself an opinion (for free)? If you like it then just maybe you can decide to pay for it... That'll be up to you.
Why not make it open source if it bothers you?
