Hello! Sharing on HN is a first for me. When I wrote this I thought I was producing something with a steady enough on-ramp that someone could follow along with a little bit of sustained curiosity. After sharing it with some friends I realise it might still be a steeper/poorly constructed ramp than I initially thought. Either way I'd love to hear from you if you found this interesting!
I don't like (nor want) to be that guy, but here I am. Can anyone shed some light on those points ?
[EDIT] forget my question, as it is about tngl.sh and not the macros (there is no code...), all apologies
Alpha stage – Tangled is still experimental, features incomplete, stability uncertain.
Unclear author – The page links to @adam.tngl.sh, with no clear track record or verified identity.
Federation risks – Relies on AT Protocol relays/DID, which could expose you to poorly configured or malicious servers.
Unknown repo content – The vim-beancounting project may include unsafe code; review in a sandbox before using.

tangled being in alpha has no bearing on the submitted content whatsoever. i’m confused by this comment.
the author being anonymous doesn’t matter either? there’s tons of good software written by pseudonymous authors.
i don’t understand what the “federation risks” even means so i won’t bother.
the last point is a bit of a giveaway that this is llm generated and you didn’t actually click on the link yourself. fwiw the code is entirely available for you to look at.

My excuses. I went too far (and too quickly)
(Yes, I used a LLM to check it and copy paste without any review, all shame on me)
