It seems like the user was banned from Wikipedia [1], and they have a history of screwing with pages that were on the HN front page. Probably just trolls.
This is really slick. I was figuring it was just a simple wrapper for yt-dlp which scraped some additional things (comments, views, etc) but you went above and beyond with the web interface. Nice job!
I like to think of HN as a family of its own. Sure, we're all different and we come from all sorts of different backgrounds, but we all come together and get along. It's really amazing, and it's hard to find in other places online.
So far I've seen OpenNIC[1] mentioned in this thread. I have it bookmarked because I think it's a really neat project. If there are others I'd like to know about them.
