It's not clear whether the above is intended as an impressive, rhyming, satirical tribute to the OP or if it is a creative, yet sarcastic, put-down attempt.

Regardless, I want to say that "Show HN" is my favorite type of HN post. If what is presented is useful or marketable, all the better, but the sheer fact that somebody built something (anything), usually in their spare time, and are proud enough to share it with the masses is something I applaud.

There is a lot of negativity on HN these days, but in most cases "Show HN" threads have respectfully been spared. I sincerely hope it stays that way.

It seems like a tongue-in-cheek stylistic parody of nerdcore on top of most rap music: bravado and aggression. ... but it's hard to tell whether it was a joke or not, but I'm leaning towards not.

Next music app idea: every time it hears The Grateful Dead or Iron Butterfly, a B-52 Westfalia bomber swoops in firing lolcat missiles and drops cluster bombs that grow dandelions. (Hippies seem to be the most antithetical to the topic to change the subject.)
