I said it was fair as someone coming blind, but you came to a show hn and didn't read the post, had a problem with something you didn't understand and then complained about it. You may find some benefit in reading docs when having problems with tools.
I have nothing to do with phind by the way.

I'm on board with complaints about hns terrible accessibility.
They asked for user feedback. I gave them user feedback, using it a typical user would. If they believe the right way to use their product is to require reading an HN post first, they are welcome to put that on the homepage. If they don't, then what they said here is irrelevant.
As I said, fair comment for someone coming in blind. But perhaps it would have been more useful if you'd used the feature they were announcing before commenting on the thread about that announcement.

Then show hns should have no text content at all.
Look, this is quite simple. It's totally fair to explain the confusion about what expert mode means. It's totally fair to say hns ui is absolutely awful.
It's just much less useful if you come to a show hn about a feature launch, don't use the feature being launched then complain about it without providing enough information to replicate the problem.
I won't respond from this point as it's getting rather circular unless you really want me to.
