The repo had already been posted. The reason I wrote the post is it's a bit hard to understand how you'd actually use smallpond for analytics.

When people see "duckdb", they're going to think they can slap it into their local analytics workflows, but it turns out that's not a good idea.

That makes sense and I didn't mean to imply that there was anything wrong with either your post or submitting it to HN! Both are good. It's just that it makes more sense for the community to first discuss the main thing itself.
