Please don't put Show HN on blog posts. This is in the rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

Writing doesn't count as "something you've made", because then every post would be a Show HN. We make exceptions for books because those are so much more work.

Am I missing something? It's obvious to me he's showcasing the "fman build system": https://github.com/mherrmann/fbs which is a wonderful project because the only reason I avoided Python + Qt in the past was because I wanted to make a very very simple cross-platform installer for my friends (mac and windows) and I didn't want to spend a lot of time researching how to bundle the python runtime in a cross-platform binary.

Personally, this is the most useful "Show HN" project I've seen in the past months.

Interesting, I didn't know about blog posts and Show HN. It is less of a blog post than an announcement of a new library though. Either way, I'm fine with the removal of the show prefix and will remember it for future posts. Thanks.
