Hi and welcome to HN. HN is not just about news but also generally things that its community considers worth reading/looking at. If you are only interested in news, I would suggest you either find yourself a suitable news website or execute the mental strength to skip over content you are not interested in. Have a nice day!

It's not new but I didn't know it was on Github. Perhaps that is the news?

Its JavaScript. Automatically makes it news here. (Awaits the down votes, doesn't expect any explanation of why it is news).
