Trying to prove? I'm trying to get feedback and input on this project. Any feedback is good :)

  The vitriol on this thread is surprising and disappointing, but I can reassure you that it's also uninformed: re-posting things that have received little or no discussion, after some decent interval, is a norm on HN and is encouraged. It would be a bad idea to post this story again in another month, but your last post got no comments at all, so this is presumably totally legit.

  It's somewhat ironic that your comment was also posted twice. :) FWIW, I don't disapprove of you submitting this twice. I, like most people, did not see the original submission, so why not.

  tptacek is right: totally legit. From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html: Are reposts ok? If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok. The reason is that there's so much randomness in what gets seen on /newest and thus gets a chance at the front page. Allowing a few rolls of the dice is a way of mitigating that randomness and increasing the best posts' chance at getting attention, which is a top priority here. So we don't penalize reposts as dupes until that happens. Edit: please don't take the pushback personally. JavaScript fatigue and framework fatigue have become trends over the last year or so. That's probably why the discussion is a bit more cranky than the median. Criticisms like 'ego' are totally out of line; neutral questions like "What problem does this solve" are of course fine.
