Oh come on. Since when are there rules for what warrants a GitHub project? I store a collection of icons on GitHub. It's not really something you'd expect to see on GiHub but it's useful to me and if some else stumbles on it and likes it then it's a bonus. No one claimed these were innovative. You'd be surprised how many people, experienced or not, would find this useful to build on. Don't be a know it all, now. The post is exactly what it says it is and there's really nothing wrong with it. Don't be negative for no reason please.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to suggest it was not useful at all. I just feel that for something so simple it would be better to show people how to create the same effect as it is using a few simple techniques that are core to web design. I understand that there are a lot of people that find it hard to visually design things and having an example that can be copied is helpfull.
