It's more helpful to private message people these things, sometimes the author doesn't even know their project has been posted to HN.

Last week I wanted to comment about a bug on HN, then I realized it's more constructive to open up an issue on their Github repo.

I compared the author's Github username and the submitter's HN username and assumed that they were the same person. Though a private message is probably still a good idea.

Yeah, I'm working on this project alone. Feel free to ask me for features.
