Way too many “Show HNs” don’t explain what the project is or why it’s useful or suggested uses, how to download, how to build, supported platforms, dependencies. There must be a checklist somewhere…
If you want people to be interested or care, you have to imagine that you are them - they don’t know all the things you know.
(This is not about your project. I just wanted to get that off my chest. ;)
Totally appreciate the feedback though! Since I knew something like this might come to show up, I decided to put the "why I created this tool" in the README as well.
