Your comment broke the HN guidelines, so it was properly downvoted. This one too. Could you please (re-)read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and post civilly and substantively, or not at all? We're hoping for something a bit better here.

Well yeah, ofcourse. I dont see where my inital post broke anything.

It was esentially as meaningfull as OPs reply.

Ofcourse, the point of "this app should run in a browser" is very valid. The reply, he can just code it himself is in my eyes a passive aggressive way of saying "no, i said your point is valid, but actually think it isn't and therefore ill ignore it anyway."

Its obvioulsy, that a well developed web app should be runable in a browser and the developers could have thought about it earlier. They know their project better than anyone, so the afford of understanding how this piece of software works for an outsider is way to high.

"Your app should run on windows. It only runs on [not windows]? Downvote!"

"Your app runs based on technologies that mean you could easily port it to windows. But it doesn't run on windows? Downvote!"

"Your app runs on windows, but it's built on technologies that allow it to run anywhere else; why does it only run on windows? Downvote!"

See the pattern? Saying "I don't like your entire contribution because it doesn't run on a given platform on which I think it COULD run" is counterproductive and at best pointless; at worst rude.

The initial comment was already uncivil and unsubstantive.

I'm sure you could have made the point more thoughtfully, in which case it would both have been clearer and not damaged HN in the process.
