Edit: I can accept that kite plans can be on topic for HN. I also don't mean to stifle anyone's curiosity about kites or kite building.
I suppose I expected something more akin to "Kite Plans, Experiments, Observations, and Results that SoAndSo ran" or "Specific Kite Plan and Notes" to be linked on HN.
If you're new to kites, good news, it's a lot more fun than it should be.

Original Post:
I am confused, why this link is on HN?
I enjoy kites and have used this site before, but what makes it worth the front page of HN? It's nothing new, their site hasn't really changed in years, and it is somewhat off topic.
Was the poster just fired up about kites? Am I missing something?
I didn't find this article very thought-provoking or useful. A developer with an interest in entrepreneurship would have come to the same conclusion - "Should I use my skills to build a business? Yes"
Instead, the article seems to be a vehicle to collect affiliate commissions.

We work on a variety of client projects with a wide variety of custom software development needs. Specific languages and frameworks vary by projects. In past projects we have had C#, Entity Framework, .NET, Java, angular, bootstrap, node, SASS, python, flask, PHP, javascript, and other tools. There is some flexibility in specific tools, we mostly want people who can examine and solve problems. The toolset is often based on the project team's skillset and the project's specific requirements.

Interesting concept. 2 Pieces of feedback.
1) it takes forever to spawn new blocks and the movement animation to run.
2) Ability to kick off multiple block movements at once. rather than waiting for it to complete animation.
Looks like it could be really useful. How difficult would it be to replace the audio to a live stream? Or for that matter the background as a live video?
When I saw this post in was on the HN at item #186. I would never have found it without my browser's HN infinite scrolling plugin.
Sure there are some cases where infinite scrolling are a pain. Trying to get to a footer, losing your place, and the sometimes blurred lines between your content and other content make the usability poor.
Those issues can be figured out and I'm sure they will be.
