That seems to run orthogonal to this. The primary benefit I see here is not having to care at all what ports apps are actually starting on. Just run them, and access them by name. Same as a regular website on the internet where one doesn't care about the IP.

> How much care would they have possibly put into reviewing

Just enough to ensure that it works for them, which is what really matters. Others go in knowing that as well, and add/change that base to their own preference. That's the world we're now in.

If that's what really mattered they wouldn't have posted an article they didn't write trying to get traction on a product they didn't create from a userbase that doesn't need it.

Nah people will be people, and a part of being a person is wanting approval from other people for something. And there will always be at least a few appreciative members of said userbase: I'm one of them.

Doesn't matter if they didn't actually write the code, but they put effort into refining an idea for a problem into a solution that fit their needs, and in sharing they've given those who never thought of it a base they can work from if they want or just go make something similar from scratch.
