I don't really know how to respond to this. She literally asked me that nearly every time I saw her. Word for word, she said, "How's the photo business?" and/or "How many customers now?" Ask anyone in my family. This is kind of a mean comment that I doubt you'd say to me in-person, especially if you knew just how much I deeply cared for my grandparents.
Mean is psychologically manipulating people, pimping out a dying loved one to raise money for a startup. I employed a rhetorical device called “hyperbole” to show you how your post comes off. I thought this was a cool story until I read this line. As someone who has lost loved ones, I cannot imagine exploiting their condition, reducing their life to an advertisement, for money or internet points. And I resent those that would. I have a grandmother with dementia and was considering showing your service to my wife until I read that line. Something to keep in mind.
I'm not raising money and this is a bootstrapped product. FWIW, those questions were things she asked me every time she saw me, not the last time she saw me.
Your comments in this thread have been egregious personal attack. I don't want to ban you again, but if you treat fellow users on this site this badly again—attacking someone over his grandmother, for heaven's sake—we'll have no choice.
I understand where you’re coming from. But you need to understand HE attacked MY grandmother and every other person suffering from dementia. Why the hell does HN allow his comments but not mine? He gets a pass because he owns a startup? I’m absolutely livid that you allow this double standard.
He didn't attack your grandmother in any way. That's the sort of thing one feels when one is livid. HN is not a good place to post during living periods.
What's wrong with you? His product is literally called "NanaGram". You might not even understand how disrespectful you are right now with this kind of comment.
