wes-ton··on MKBHDs for Everything
I think you misread. slg was saying that that the Twitter user was attacking MKBHD's character, not that MKBHD was somehow attacking the product's character.
wes-ton··on Dimensions.com – Database of Dimensioned Drawings
I was looking for the dimensions of different sports balls for a trivia question[0] and found this website that contains renderings, dimensions, 3d models, and even just general wikipedia-like information on a ton of various objects. I love random sites like this that contain very specific information (like https://www.thistothat.com/ that tells you how to glue two materials together), but was particularly interested in how well-designed and polished this one was visually.

No affiliation (just now noticed there's paid tiers, I just used it for free for dimensions), just thought this was cool.

wes-ton··on Ask HN: What non-AI products are you working on?
I'm working on a daily trivia game, Disorderly https://playdisorderly.com/. It's maybe not the most ambitious project, but it's been fun to just make small incremental improvements to a project that's primary purpose is just to be fun.

wes-ton··on Show HN: Solaire - A lightweight framework for creating Discord bots in Node
I created this framework after finding the existing Node Discord bot frameworks to be too heavy for my use cases, and wanted a really simple and straightforward way to get a bot off of the ground. It's not nearly as feature-rich as some of the other frameworks out there, but I'm pretty happy with how effective it is at providing an expressive way to create bot commands.
