So this is weird, I noticed my little Front-end experiment "Hyphen" that aims to blend custom elements (sorry spankalee please do not comment here, I notice you often have something negative to say about non lit-html frameworks posted on HN!!!) with good developer ergonomics (simple inline handlers, etc, read more at README), suddenly accrued 18 stars (jumping from 51 to 69). That was not as surprising as when I went to examine the repo, I noticed "Used by 36,000 people" This is unexpected!! I'm assuming it must be a GitHub glitch, but wow! edit: It seems it's no glitch. 36000 projects have literally sprung up where this is used. This is fantastic! OMG it must really work. Nobody contacted me about any issues. WOW!!! edit 2: Hahaha! :) It seems it MUST be a glitch. Likely caused by the name "-". I perused some of the projects listed in dependents and they have no mention of this framework. It's a confusion with: https://www.npmjs.com/package/- https://www.npmjs.com/package/- Hahaha! :)

  Your package.json does say `name: "-"`, so you didn't publish it on npm?

    Yeah obviously. Someone had this years ago. I probably didn’t even check. Hahaha ! :)

        That was tongue-in-cheek, man, for all your Hahaha you're not taking things too lightly... There's a secret life for HN articles, when after dusk the RSS-informed folks come to pilfer old news
