Wonder how “ai” would feel if you just forked postcss without attribution and opened PRs against popular projects to replace.

Something tells me they wouldn’t be so calm about the whole affair

Which is nowhere near no_wizard's point. And nowhere near what you've done.

Gorge Bucaran, author of Colorette, summarizes your actions here https://github.com/ai/nanocolors/pull/14#issuecomment-927134...:

"Colorette isn't some obscure project either. It is well used. Now imagine I find a project that meets that description. Clone it. Erase the .git directory. Initialize a new repository. Make a few extraneous changes. Incorrectly benchmark it. Falsely claim improved performance. Tweak the docs. Change the name. Add a logo. Start aggressively promoting it and sending PRs to high-profile projects while leveraging a non-trivial social media following. I'm not against forking a project and adding new value to it. I encourage that. But that's not what's going on here. This is the collector getting away with a new piece for their collection."

Comparing that, to "promoting alternatives" to one of your projects on Twitter, shows a creepy lack of acknowledgement.

But that's why we're here, isn't it?
