still way less lines then I would have thought, especially because it has no dependencies.

But the title does not mention that. It says few lines. Maybe 100, 200, 300 lines are few. Its misleading and otherwise discredits a good project.

This project even has a GUI/IDE. I believe that is a stronger selling point rather than "few" lines of code or "little work", "easy way" or any of these other colloquial 'flexing' terms.

It's worse than that - the title says "a few", which is basically always less than ten. If it said "quite a few", it would certainly be accurate. If it actually said "few", it wouldn't be as bad, though still misleading.
