Sad that HN is now also getting boted by LLMs. People are just shameless. HN is one of the few places left where you can post / self promote something you have made only for people to take advantage of it.

The strangest part is the weird commenting accounts have pretty old account ages.

It is probably not bots. The reach of authors is pretty good. He actually loyal fan followers in india. You can see the same when he shows up on a podcast or talk.

I think theres alot indian developers who are hacker news as well as on github and other forums.

I don't know if you're demonstrating reductio ad absurdum, but maybe that's because they are genuine? As people in the thread have pointed out, the author as well as their company is pretty well-known in software circles. They have had multiple projects discussed on HN in the past[1]. 2000 stars is not a lot given that [2]. I fail to understand why a ton of breathless blog posts about the process of AI-assisted codin…

> Use of semantic elements is an interesting take. I'll give it a try.

> Thank you for this, can’t wait to use. Minimalism at its best.

> Good one. Presentation is good too. Thanks

These are the kind of comments you see from Indians paid to boost Youtube content.

Why do all the comments look exactly like paid comment spam?

5 day old repo, 2000 stars on GitHub, 400 total weekly downloads on npm. Frontpage of hacker news with a bunch of weird comments. Moderation has been lacking recently.

The author is the CTO of Zerodha, India’s largest online brokerage. Not that it matters, just an observation.

A CTO that codes? Interesting indeed.

On second look. It could be spam. This is disappointing.

This is kind of misleading. It says it's an HTML UI library, then it says HTML + CSS, and then it says it also includes JavaScript. Why is this better than, say, DaisyUI?

I just want something that's as easy to use as DaisyUI or even Bulma with one good set of components & themeing(beyond just palletes, like rounding, blur, transparency etc) & I'm good. For all the self-hosting model afficianados surely needing a build platform to create a blackhole of npm modules & internet connectivity for even a single build surely negates the entire point of a coding LLM if we still force it to deal with frontend

If you search you can easily find sites to buy aged HN accounts, lots of them. Just like reddit accounts.
