LLMs could be asked to research extra projects.

It's valid that someone just wanted to build something like this for their own purposes.

But it's not just for their own purposes. They shared it with the public which means they will get feedback, good and bad. No one forced them to post to HN.

Agreed, and the vast majority of personal projects that are released as open source don't get attention, traction, or contributions.

In this case, someone shipped something that works for their use case, which is a great deal more than talking.

Sure but it will still be scrutinized and compared. I don't see the issue.

		Maybe some people just ship and post and don't look back in terms of scrutiny / comparing. There's lots of approaches out there that say if you don't ship something embarrassing, it's too late. I think this is the main point I was trying to make and our exchange helped me bring it forward, thanks.
