That was just a cheeky response they gave me after I reached out on Sunday (8 days after my post).

They first posted theirs 4 days after my Show HN which went viral on r/webdev. I assumed they had just come to it on their own and I didn't realize they had seen & commented on my work until Sunday (8 days after the Show HN).
I mention this in the referenced post https://github.com/rkk3/ad-accelerator/blob/main/lessons_post.md https://github.com/rkk3/ad-accelerator/blob/main/lessons_pos...
>Is there a feature you could add? Like muting the sped up ads?
Muting the ads was in the original. But in terms of another feature another member of the community contributed a PR that adds support for Hulu.
- ksaj 3y agoI wonder if there's another site, video streaming or otherwise, that could benefit from this sped-up ad treatment. You can outcompete with power features (which is the Linux vs Windows tactic), and watch for them to suddenly get something similar in the back of their minds again. It's unfortunate, but literally without a fully fledged legal department, your options are at street level only.
- corn-dog 3y agoNo. They can’t do anything, because they are a liar, I have shared my side of the story, all my code. But speaking of legal action. I think of the terms: slander, libel, defamation, misleading and false accusations, and harassment.
