[unindented]

I found it interesting that the project's only dependencies are also written by the author: https://github.com/bevacqua/woofmark/blob/1ffb31db3008c3c018...

Is it a case of NIH, or is it justified?

This is something I built in house for Stompflow.com and I work in small modules, which is why you see a bunch of modules in there. They're all quite smallish and reusable, which is kind of the point.

Most people wouldn't have bothered and they would've just created a single module with everything clumped together. By writing smaller pieces I get to reuse them across other stuff that I write, open-source or not

Edit for context: this wasn't originally going to be open source

I'd suspect, just going with what's more known. In addition, you can remove any limitations you encounter a lot easier.

it is partially NIH, but that doesn't mean its unjustified.
