I worked on this project a bit and have a deep understanding of how it went about, though, I am not sure how much I can talk about that. edit: I guess what can be said was it was a highly efficient project, and there weren't so many fingers in the development pot so to say.

Is this HN-speak for "it was a clusterfuck and there were too many stakeholders with incompatible requirements"?

  It sounded like the opposite of what you wrote.

    Yes, but given the previous phrase: > I am not sure how much I can talk about that it genuinely seemed like it might be a way to list the problems without saying that there were problems. I'm sorry that it seemed like I'm attacking the GP. I did not intend to, but I also knowingly ignored this interpretation, because wording is hard

      I didn’t mean it that way, I’m just not sure how much I could talk about it. For one, because I was involved but only so much. And two, because it’s not really my thing to talk about per se. As for problems, not really any problems. It was quite straight forward. I’m just not sure my company would appreciate me speaking on their behalf about details. Edit: but I can answer like, general technical details and things like that.

  You can check the GitHub but it looks like there were only a max of 3 devs involved https://github.com/hseireland/ https://github.com/hseireland/

    That isn’t exactly accurate but yeah- it was the work of just a few. Some of us were brought in to help with certain details. Edit: the github history here is what probably happened after they cleaned it up and open sourced it. Which isn’t uncommon I think.

      To add on, these core 3 people really were the folks who did majority of the work.
