What was your incentive for building this?

[pixxxel]

Nothing really, just wanted to see if I could build it.

Why does everything have to have an incentive outside of "because I wanted to"?

[bluelightning2k]

Why does every question have to have a purpose deeper than "because I was curious"?

Because open-sourcing and publicizing a tool with no valid use-case comes off silly.

You sound like someone who would throw their child's painting away instead of putting it on the fridge because it was just a piece of paper with a few brushes of paint slapped onto it.

WHAT LOL. You're on hacker news and you're complaining that people are hacking?! Literally the entire tenet is playing around and experimenting for our own edification and fun. On August 25, 1991, Linus Torvalds posted a message on the comp.os.minix newsgroup... something to the effect of "just a hobby, won’t be big and professional". I MEAN COME ON MR HACKER_NEWZ. The irony is deafening.
