         | Discord.

           | "wip" as they like to say or completely unimplemented.
           | 
           | The feature list is aspirational. Maybe one day they'll get
           | there.

       | Yeah, it's written in V.

       | 
       | It looks like a very basic stub project that uses a web library
       | (vweb) to serve a very basic web site that's interpreted from a
       | json file, with a stub for some sort of email subscription
       | functionality.
       | 
       | The vweb library seems like it's not the point of this post...
       | 
       | The unfinished email feature couldn't be it...
       | 
       | No problem with someone posting an "I did a thing" post, but,
       | again, A) what is the thing, and B) what's making people upvote
       | this?
       | 
       | Have I just been misunderstanding how things get on the "front
       | page" of HN all these years?

         | Yeah, agreed. I assume there is something cool for me to learn

         | ignorant starting point. What is this thing?
