Having the confidence to release your projects as open-source is excellent and something I wish more people had.

However—by your own description—HN is a place where you solicit feedback but can't be bothered to extend the same courtesy to your peers.

Think of it like a conversation. If I approach you asking for feedback on my projects but never return the favor, does that not seem suspicious?

In fairness, open sourcing a project is quite a big courtesy to begin with, and providing a website, support, documentation, etc is much more of a commitment than leaving a comment on HN.

There are more than enough people on HN providing huge amounts of feedback about everything they can at the slightest opportunity. I don't think that tipiirai's contributions are sorely missed.

I think you aren't being nice trying to teach him manners. Having others already upvoted this submission we can move over this 'incident', can we?

I tend to give feedback on a form of GitHub issue. It's more focused and the discussion doesn't explode.

For my own projects I like to get all the rants as well. Gives a broader picture. I have a feeling that HN doesn't have a very strict etiquette.

Fair point.

To be clear, I take nothing away from what you've done here: More tooling options are rarely—if ever—a bad thing and your presentation of riot is beautiful and clear, very well executed.
