This is just some guy's hobby project that he is sharing for free. I don't get why everyone is so keen to shit all over it.

They're annoyed at people shamelessly publishing low quality crap. Calling it out is a way to raise standards back up.

That is the way of the internet unfortunately. Instead of simply appreciating something, it's important to find a criticism and voice it. That way you're 'adding' to the conversation.

I mean look back at HN classic posts like the initial Dropbox announcement and the classic: this is nothing more than a wrapper over rsync, etc.

"This is like the HN dropbox post" is now a whole class off low-effort comment in itself.

This may be true, but I don't believe it makes it any less valid.

Perhaps the comment YOU made could also fall into that category? Pointing out a low-effort comment is ALSO a low-effort comment?
