I don't think I was particularly rude or pushy, I just stated my opinion and asked them to expand on theirs.

>add in the tendency of HN to tear to shreds (however well-meaning) any code which gets presented

I don't think HN is this bad unless the code in question is actively doing harm (e.g. bad crpyto). I'll always be more critical of good closed source software than bad open source software.




For the record, I’m leaning towards yes. And I don’t much fear response, the code is actually quite decent in my own opinion. I just want to experiment a bit more, see if there’s anything else I want to accomplish, before throwing it out there.


Do you think others might also contribute good ideas if it were opened sooner rather than later?


Maybe small tweaks; big contributions wouldn't be my expectation. I think it would better serve as example code or a base for other projects.
