| OP, you're selling your tool to the wrong people. HN is not the crowd. This is for core-engineers who want to get value out of coding. Find people who pay the $1000/yr to use 1 tool in Matlab, and start pulling them away. |

| Please don't try and box the user base of a web community. It's exclusive rather than inclusive. You have no idea who is reading these pages. |

| ▲ | screye 2 days ago | parent [-] | | It is less so OP's tool, and more so the way they presented it. I won't discourage them away from SWEs. Instead, I want to encourage them to sell to core engineers. I was a MechE for the longest time too. And this is a great Matlab alternative. In fact, I was exactly that MechE who was using HN to feel like a part of the tech community. The top post is phrased as a sell. But, if I'd read it during my MechE days then it would've gone right over my head. |

| There are plenty of that type of person here on HN, we're not all engineers. |

| ▲ | KeplerBoy 4 days ago | parent [-] | | i.e. some of us are engineers in the traditional meaning. | | |
| ▲ | zwieback 4 days ago | parent [-] | | I wonder how many "traditional" engineers are Mac coders. I work at hp so not many Macs around but in our R&D and especially in manufacturing and test&measurement Mac-only would be a problem. |
