Evidence of using HN for marketing typically, but of recent the surge in OpenClaw slop (not that all is slop)
You can look at the time for first commit (only commit here) and compare it to the time it was submitted to HN. The fastest I had seen before today was 25 minutes.
The pattern you seen in these is
1. Single commit to GitHub
2. Create HN account
3. Make HN post
You can find skills for project promotion that include HN.
In this case, I think the "v3" is to try and bypass some of the filtering, to suggest the project has more maturity than the likely fresh vibe coded output it is.
Honestly, this is my first time publishing to npm. I built the sorting algorithm over a few weeks but I'd never published a package before today, I used Claude to walk me through npm publish, and yes, posting here. The code and benchmarks are real though, 180 tests, run them yourself. I'm a developer, just not one who's lived on GitHub. Where would be the right place to share something like this?
