There wasn't one, but just build instructions don't make a Show HN.

  What makes you think that? I don't see that reflected in the rules. "Show" rules say nothing about how much effort one perceives someone put into something. To quote what I think are relevant rules for this discussion: "Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with." - check "The project must be something you've worked on personally and which you're around to discuss." - check

    Show HN is for original work other people can try out and provide feedback. The bar to 'original' is pretty low (a non-trivial port meets it, a Learner's First Project usually meets it, etc) but a straight fork-and-recompile stretches the meaning of 'worked on' to the point of meaninglessness. You can't really respond to feedback if you didn't make the thing you're showhning.

    "something you've worked on personally" pretty clearly does not cover pubolishing a completed project from someone else on a new platform.

    My point was that it could have been a PR on the original repository, hosted by the original author, and that would have been a nice Show HN even if posted by the person who helped build it for the web. Contribute positively to a good project.
