yeah maybe, I guess it's fine, I meant no disrespect for the person learning. I can see some git issues so probably a new dev showcasing.I just don't understand how the hn posts work. Shouldn't there be some upvoting of stuff to be on the main page, or it was just released so it appeared?

For what it's worth the HN algorithm is a pretty complex, so I'm still oversimplifying but ti's more about the rate a story gains score than the points themselves. You can get just 5 votes in the first minute you're up and make the front page, which is more or less what this did.
