you should create more sockpuppet accounts to write nice comments ;)

Did you look at the project btw? Any opinions?

Yep, it's pretty cool! I actually tried building a tiny robot car myself before, but I don't have a hardware background, so it was really challenging to learn everything and source all the components.
I even used an AI agent (OpenClaw) to help me with the project, but I still ran into a lot of obstacles—things like circuit diagrams, wiring, hardware tools, and understanding the documentation. Eventually, I gave up... haha.
I think your tool could really help people like me who want to build hardware projects but don't have much experience. It's a great idea!

Sorry, these aren't puppet accounts, btw, just accounts of some friends and family who somehow found this project.

These comments are pretty different from that post. You will also notice that they don't match my writing style at all. I would never say that these comments are helpful to a Hacker News post.
I genuinely wish these comments weren't here :(
