I wonder about OP's reasoning for submitting this to HN.
`itsdangerous` has been around for a while and is actually required by `flask`.
- tosh 5y agoI am researching best practices for signing of data for web services (in JavaScript) and remembered that I was using a library with flask at a hackathon a few years ago and that it had a sword illustration on the website but couldn’t find it (but eventually did now).
- throw10920 5y agoNowhere in the HN guidelines[1] is it required (or even recommended) for a submission to be new or even recent - there are popular submissions going back to the 1900's and others that have hit the front page a dozen times because they're timeless or little-known. The fact that the submission has 73 upvotes (as of this comment) and that I found it novel and interesting suggests that it's rather on-topic, and interesting and provides value to others, and it's certainly "Anything that good hackers would find interesting. [...] anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." Meanwhile, I don't find much value in your questioning why a popular post was submitted in the first place.

- divbzero 5y agoThe reminder that the library is used in Flask was helpful even if the questioning wasn’t.
