Similar service????
Simple Analytics is a real service. Blockmetry is a 90's-looking page with a "contact sales" button and not even a demo (nevermind a real product).

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. If criticism is necessary, then might as well make it constructive.
Sure, the blockmetry site has some issues. The menu is unusable on my mobile (android) and there are no screenshots or explanation of how it actually works (server/client side, self/cloud hosted?). There are some style choices that I don't agree with, like the binary background pattern.
But I like to assume good faith unless I have some solid evidence otherwise. Do you know for a fact that there is no product? If so, please share :)
It is, however, poor form to plug your competing product in a Show HN. It's a fine line between mentioning and plugging, but I think offering a discount falls on to the wrong side of the line.
All these things can be pointed out politely.
