tangled being in alpha has no bearing on the submitted content whatsoever. i’m confused by this comment.
the author being anonymous doesn’t matter either? there’s tons of good software written by pseudonymous authors.
i don’t understand what the “federation risks” even means so i won’t bother.
the last point is a bit of a giveaway that this is llm generated and you didn’t actually click on the link yourself. fwiw the code is entirely available for you to look at.

My excuses. I went too far (and too quickly)
(Yes, I used a LLM to check it and copy paste without any review, all shame on me)

Does anyone else think this method of discourse incredibly rude? This poster posted a quasi researched comment that looks surface credible. A HN user took the time to respond to each point - only for the response to the response to be “whoops sorry, wasted your time!”
Feels like a breach of social contract. I used to see help requests that were well written as a signal of effort - as in “I’ll put in the effort to help since they did”
[EDIT] forget my question, as it is about tngl.sh and not the macros (there is no code...), all apologies
Alpha stage – Tangled is still experimental, features incomplete, stability uncertain.
Unclear author – The page links to @adam.tngl.sh, with no clear track record or verified identity.
Federation risks – Relies on AT Protocol relays/DID, which could expose you to poorly configured or malicious servers.
Unknown repo content – The vim-beancounting project may include unsafe code; review in a sandbox before using.
