  This is a slightly different tool. I'd hope that we won't have one of those every day now though.

    It seems much too close to the original Show HN to have a second one two days later. The rules (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html) say: "New features and upgrades ("Foo 1.3.1 is out") generally aren't substantive enough to be Show HNs. A major overhaul is probably ok." This may not technically be a new feature but slight variations on the same thing are very much in the bucket that that rule is meant to address. This is a special case of a more general issue: follow-up posts [1] are not great for HN because they are repetitive, and curiosity withers under repetition. The test we apply is whether a post contains significant new information [2].
