5 day old repo, 2000 stars on GitHub, 400 total weekly downloads on npm. Frontpage of hacker news with a bunch of weird comments. Moderation has been lacking recently.

You are jumping to conclusions. The author is the CTO of the largest online brokerage in India but more importantly, they have created many open source software of good quality. His website and blog are of great quality. Whether you think this library deserves more attention or not is your personal preference but it is far from spam. I havr no affiliation with them but like their work.

It's possible for both things to be true: this project is written by a developer well-known within India, AND this thread has a lot of bot (bought?) comments of praise in it.

The author is the CTO of Zerodha, India’s largest online brokerage. Not that it matters, just an observation.

I thought they also OSSed a pretty solid https://github.com/frappe/helpdesk helpdesk but that was from Frappe, not Zerodha.

A CTO that codes? Interesting indeed.

I'm not sure which comments you're finding weird, but I spot checked a bunch and didn't see anything that looked particularly bogus, other than https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47026348 and some trollish ephemera.

The upvotes on the submission look legit to me, as does the submission itself.

Sad that HN is now also getting boted by LLMs. People are just shameless. HN is one of the few places left where you can post / self promote something you have made only for people to take advantage of it.

The strangest part is the weird commenting accounts have pretty old account ages.

AI Slop, basically a couple of LLM prompts will generate similar shit now.
