Exactly what am I looking at here? I think if you want attention to your HN-posts you should put a bit more effort into it than simply linking to a git repo.
A reasonable (somewhat) interface for contributors. A very lacking UI for promoting the value of the code base to non-contributors.
Just because something makes it to the frontpage of HN doesn't automatically make it worthy of further investigation. Granted, one shouldn't just fling things aside because they have no immediately apparent utility, but just from the difference in the submitted headline and the first line of the linked to page, this smells a bit of coder-drama.
