Not a very descriptive headline. I see many headlines like this on Hacker News with just a name, and I often skip over them. Give people some information to draw them in, and to assure them it will not be a waste of time. All I can assume at this point is that your site is about forestry.
Edit: I have looked at the site, and indeed it has nothing to do with forestry. You would do well to include in the headline the straightforward description that is already in use on the page:
"Forestry: A simple CMS for Jekyll and Hugo sites"
- throwaway6436 10y agoJust skip anything that's on an .io TLD. You'll be fine. It's probably a Heartbleed style GitHub Pages site for the latest bloat-free Rust rewrite of leftpad, anyway @jpatters: if you care about this, move it to a .com. I winced.
- smarinov 10y ago+1, I expected some software toolset for managing natural parks or the wood industry, at most.
- ckdarby 10y agoI agree. I'm always confused how non-descriptive stories make it to the frontpage of HN though...
- Kiro 10y agoI'm the opposite. When it's just a name I become intrigued, always thinking "is this the next big thing?" and thrilled to find out what it is.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoWas expecting some IoT SAAS for actual forest/garden management. Was disappointed.
- achairapart 10y agoSorry, my fault, and I agree with you. I quickly submitted this just before bed as a reminder and found it on the front-page today. Also, I'm not linked with the creators in any way, just genuinely interested about the service itself.
