Author here. Long time lurker, but made an an account now.

Wow, I did not expect this. I'm really touched. I wrote this as a small utility for my own consumption because I was unsatisfied with the existing selection at the time, so I'm both surprised and delighted to learn that people are finding it useful. Although to be completely frank, I think this library is way too small and insignificant to deserve a spot on HN's front page, but it definitely made my day. So thank you kind stranger who posted it!
