Not affiliated, I just built a little tool to make my life easier and thought I'd share

It's great and clearly the community appreciates it! I'll put Show HN in the title since that's the convention for sharing one's projects on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html).

Btw, do you want to include some text giving the backstory of how you came to work on this, and explaining what's different about it? that's also the convention. If you post it in a reply to this comment, I'll move your text to the top of the thread.

I think it's cool. Thanks for sharing

Can you please not post shallow dismissals of other people's work? This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

It's important, when people share something they've made on HN, that they don't run into this sort of bilious internet putdown.

Edit - these are other examples of the same thing (i.e. the thing we don't want in HN threads, and which we'd appreciate if you'd not do any more of):
