The number of projects I've encountered on HN which don't even have this...
Maybe it's because I'm not a developer or working at a startup, but I get majorly annoyed whenever I click on some "Show HN" link only to be presented with a landing page on some unheard of web site that contains a few nice images and a text box wanting me to give up my e-mail address before I can even see what the application looks like or, in many cases, before I even know what the hell it is or is supposed to do!
(On a side note, that may be the longest sentence I've ever written.)
