Can you read your own sources before parsing it through an AI to spit out an article? The repo is archived. It was archived before you posted this article. How are we supposed to "leave feedback"? Using tom's forums?

It was posted yesterday, AFAICT, and apparently archived shortly thereafter. I suspect this got a bunch of people sending requests and so the developer decided to close things down and "archive" the project for the time being, just to stop the floodgates. So sure, leave feedback here and there's a chance the dev will see it. Or go try to message him directly if you want. 🤷‍♂️

Using AI to write articles at Future is strictly forbidden and would be cause for dismissal. Just because you find something you disagree with doesn't mean it was written by AI, or that an editor didn't give it a read. (I'm the editor who went over this one, making various changes in the process.)

Hey, WattWise author here. Thank of you so much for writing about my little project!

When I published my project on my blog, I absolutely didn't expect it to end up on the front page of HN nor on Tom's Hardware! Almost all of the projects I post are quick weekend projects for things I needed to build for personal use. That's why I open source the code and archive the repos - I'm happy if someone else uses them, but normally don't plan to support them extensively. Based on the interest, I've just unarchived the repo and plan to add more functionalities.

Hey Naveen, thanks for joining the forums and taking the time to comment — and for unarchiving the repo. Can you share any details about when you might release the Clocks/Power Tuning component so that people can have it automatically adjust their system settings based on time of day? Cheers!

I won't be able to make the changes needed for public release until this weekend, so I plan to release it by next Tuesday, hopefully sooner.
