Hacker Read

Actual technical content on github, which is linked from the article, but perhaps should be the main link?

The article does at least do some digging vis-a-vis the history of Zeffy's work and how it came to reach the state that it's in currently, so some credit is due to computerworld.

They do actually have a link at the bottom, labelled github, outside the article for some reason.

We're talking about the Github page that was linked upthread.

The first sentence on the page, right at the top there, gives a GitHub link.

I wish the article would actually link to the github repository.

Oh dear. I pushed an addendum to the article: https://github.com/Xe/site/commit/05135edcbe5e474131c15c2476...

Thanks for pointing that out!

The linked site is not authored by GitHub. Just hosted there :).

In all fairness: there seems to be a little bit more of documentation on http://www.lemon-lang.org So, whoever posted this to hacker news should have used that link rather than the GitHub link and of course, it seems to be way to early in development to post it at all. I have some quite unfinished projects of mine on GitHub, but I would never post a link to them until they are in a state where they would be relevant to a larger community.

I don't understand the significance of this link. It's some random people saying the title. Why not link to the github repo?

And yet the page at the end of the link is on GitHub. Hmm ...

There was a hackernnews article about a decentralised github (not yt-dl) yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24874994

Maybe it was the article's reprinting of that rant, in its entirety, with a link to the actual file in github.

jwilk | karma 8094 | avg karma 2.47 · | 2020-10-11 15:09:33+00:00

It was just "(github.com)" yesterday:

Also the article is from March and mentions a private GitHub but it seems like it has been publicly released per context clues on this commit https://github.com/Jarred-Sumner/bun/pull/205

In this particular case, the github link makes a bit more sense, as the main topic of discussion was the fact that it's now open source.

I agree with you in general though.

His link to github actually does have screenshots and explains details. Probably what should have been the primary link.
