I am a little bit confused because your comments seem to imply initially that htmz is written by someone other than you, and then later that you wrote htmz.

Who are you and what is your relationship with htmz and its creators? Please be honest and refrain from violating federal law and FTC guidelines in your response.



You seem to have misinterpreted "[those comments] are exactly what I hoped to hear reflected about my creation". They weren't saying "I enjoyed hearing those comments about htmz, which is a thing I created" - they were saying "those comments are what I _had_ hoped to hear about my (unreleased and unnamed) creation, which indicates that htmz is a good implementation of a similar idea that I had"


I don't think this person is implying that at all (nor do I think that anyone needs to be trotting out federal law and FTC guidelines here :).

"I had an idea to use named iframes [...] But, I never simplified it well nor expressed a polished and elegant realization of that idea, as this htmz looks to me to be. [...] the comments here [...] are exactly what I hoped to hear reflected about my creation, and are totally on point for what this type of thing should be."

Seems pretty clear to me. This person had a similar idea but didn't complete it, and finds the flavor of appreciative "nice hack" energy (as opposed to "this is enterprise" or "this is a revolution" energy, I guess) appropriate for the project and the type of feedback they had wanted to hear had they completed their project.

My name is John Galt and I wrote this library. When you learn who I really am, then you'll understand.
