How is this different to all the others?

Please don't just say "written in rust, lol". There's definitely a time and place for that, but a little script that makes interacts with the shell and makes a couple of API calls isn't it.

It baffles me why people would be so unnecessarily critical on someone's project they are showing off in a show-and-tell fashion. It's a neat project with value.
Where's the criticism?
I think people in general are much too concerned with "what makes this different". It's cool, fun and rewarding to build things.
That's fine for whoever made it, but it's not so interesting for me, or anyone else on the hn.

I'm a little annoyed by this. I'm sure your reading comprehension is sufficient to know I wasn't objecting to fun or making things. I wasn't even implying there was nothing new or interesting about the project, I just wanted to know what that new or interesting thing might be.

I'm on hn and it's interesting to me
