Wifey is an influencer and semi-dependent on capcut (features the mobile instagram vid editor doesn't offer), so I'm quite interested in quality 'simple' timeline-style editors. Testing is on my list, though repeat submissions to HN does NOT move it up my todo list.

Different accounts doing the submitting- could be the same person, but might not be too. Also, HN guidelines don't really discourage duplicate submissions, and in some cases, HN moderators are known to encourage re-submission.

Why are you upset that the author resubmitted? The last posts got no traction at all.
A post getting two submissions twice does not make this a re-post. Nobody on earth saw the previous submissions.
It's permissible for folks to submit posts a few times until they actually get noticed or dang steps in to tell them to stop. The author is doing things exactly as the rules permit.
If you've learned from your wife's social media career, you know that you often have to keep trying in order to pick up traction. The algorithm requires signal.
