The screenshot doesn't seem very descriptive or illustrative of what the tool does.

it's a gui!

It looks like a Mac hello world GUI project though! Needs a bit more on screen to demonstrate anything.

I'm not suggesting otherwise, merely that it is, in fact, a gui

Agreed - the screenshot was basically a black rectangle.

Is this some sort of joke that I guess I don't get?

I'm confused by the number of contributors and stars for what seems like, from the README, a project that is 10% of the way to an MVP, if that.

Maybe the same with some other projects of "programming influencers". The owner has 12k followers on Github, maybe even more on other networks. Those people can post a single announcement that they will do something new, and get like 1k stars for nothing, as well as a hand full of contributors.

It's minimalist. I'm sure Apple would go for it.

This is a GitHub project of boilerplate with no releases. Perhaps hitting the submit on this was a bit premature. Let's not judge it until it's ready to be judged.

Only this to reach the top of HN page?

electron boilerplates get you k stars on github now - quite rich - 50K dependencies, 379 vulnerabilities, 5GB idle memory consumption and 3GB source code size included for - wait for it - a black window - lmao
