why down vote ? do you really want to use a library without tests ?

  Speculation, but perhaps it was a reaction to the short, negative response. Clearly, you looked at it enough to note a lack of tests. Did you see anything you liked? Something you might find useful? It's likely not your intent, but one could have read your comment as dismissive and unnecessarily negative. Then again, it's hard to know definitively why someone downvotes.

    actually, i am disappointed. if someone posts a library and then doesn't have any tests. It will be causing pain for the guys/girl how are using it. i.e. minor changes. that are actually breaking etc... On top, no tests => inferior code structure and architecture. Without tests, properly structuring according to SOLID principles, get's difficult.

      As someone else pointed out, the first commit was 16 hours ago. Maybe a little early to be disappointed about a lack of tests? It might have been posted to HN earlier than the author wanted it to be widely known. Who knows? I'm a big fan of tests myself. I'm also a big fan of pointing out positives as well as negatives, and keeping things in perspective. It's easy to tear down projects in their early days (hours!). Let's show a little support as well if we're pointing out flaws rather than doubling down on negativity. Anyway, you asked, I speculated, and that's that.
