I don't understand why this was flagged.

Nice job. Left you an upvote.

Because stuff like this isn't particularly impressive to HN readers.

Deharshing this a bit, it's getting to the point where we can all make this with a little prompting. It's like when I one-shorted a cool SPA version of Dope Wars. I could have shared it, but anyone could have built the same thing with a one-sentence prompt.

  • Flagging is for submissions that violate hn guidelines. Not for things you deem unimpressive.

    • For the record, I didn't flag this. But, yes, it's not about impressive so much as it is about things that are interesting to hacker types.

  • Yeah, but the hard part is not the prompting, is coming up with the idea. I think the concept is interesting and well done. I don't care if it was done with AI or with an army of leprechaun coders.

    • hard part being the ideation is very true. i struggle with this all the time. even meditate on it for hours. but I think it is an important muscle to practice these days
