You could likely have written that tool in the time that it took to write that comment.

If it would be useful to you, and to others, then why not?

And if it is not accepted then publish it yourself. Stop your whining.

I have explained why up the thread. I gave three reasons. Why are you feeling the need to be unnecessarily combative to a stranger on the internet? The author already said they think it’s a good idea and that they’ll work on it over the weekend, you’re being rude over nothing.

Someone gave you a constructive suggestion.

Did you even say “thank you”?

Am I talking to the secret HN account of JD Vance right now?

I upvoted. Comments saying just thank you aren’t the norm for HN. No need to furiously send multiple replies to the same comment, either. There’s a link to the guidelines at the bottom if you need a refresher.
