- hombre_fatal 6y agoWe are a community of craftspeople and engineers. What something is built with is something 99% of us want to know. Usually what something is built with and how it was built is frankly the only interesting thing to talk about. I don't want a cli habit tracker, but I'm still here looking at how they built it, bikeshedding with my commiserators. You may be more interested in Product Hunt. Not sure I understand your complaint, though. Makes me think that you would leave it off of your HN submission in some weird masturbatory idea of modesty. "Well, so what was it built with?" "Oh, I couldn't say ;)"
