I checked the the code, reported a bug, and Filip fixed it. Therefore, as I said, I was a little concerned.

Yes, but instead of remarking solely on the fact that the author has a pretty good turnaround time for fixing bugs (I wished all open source projects were that fast) and listens to input belies the tone of your comment, which makes me come away with a negative view of the project, when in fact the evidence points to the opposite.

It's a 'damning with faint praise' thing and I'm not sure to what degree you are aware of it but I don't think it is a fair way to treat the author and the project. HN has enough of a habit of pissing on other people's accomplishments already. Critics have it easy, playwrights put in the hours.
