Yes. Those of us who have been in the Fabric community working with one another are aware of this. From my conversations on IRC with @tav, I thought he was as well.

It's always encouraging to see new people get involved. It's quite another to see someone relatively new to the community try to go around that community by announcing "new features" for a project they've barely started work on.

Sorry if that comes off a little bitter, but seeing this as the top post on HN today rubbed me the wrong way.
