a very basic app getting a bunch of undue attention thanks to nostalgia for someone else's IP, classic
You almost sound bitter about it
and...? it does not change the fact that this "app" would get 0 attention if it wasn't using nostalgic IP that does not belong to the developer. their are undoubtedly better, more original apps being posted to HN right now that likely deserve the attention more, but they're not using stolen IP to get attention, so they don't.
