    I don't understand why this was flagged.

    Nice job. Left you an upvote.

      Because stuff like this isn't particularly impressive to HN readers.

      Deharshing this a bit, it's getting to the point where we can all make this with a little prompting. It's like when I one-shorted a cool SPA version of Dope Wars. I could have shared it, but anyone could have built the same thing with a one-sentence prompt.

        Yeah, but the hard part is not the prompting, is coming up with the idea. I think the concept is interesting and well done. I don't care if it was done with AI or with an army of leprechaun coders.

          hard part being the ideation is very true. i struggle with this all the time. even meditate on it for hours. but I think it is an important muscle to practice these days

        Flagging is for submissions that violate hn guidelines. Not for things you deem unimpressive.

          For the record, I didn't flag this. But, yes, it's not about impressive so much as it is about things that are interesting to hacker types.
