Thanks for pointing this out, I've been thinking about this very question myself. Perhaps Stan is trying to test out different titles, or felt that a different title does this project more justice as he is progressing with its development? Different titles he used, in chronological order: * Show HN: Warp – Simple terminal sharing for better developers interactions * Warp – share your terminal with one simple command * Show HN: Instantaneous terminal sharing Instantaneous terminal sharing My take away from this: Don't include app/product name, describe product in as few words as possible, don't include examples (... for ...) so readers has the opportunity to imagine the possibilities.

I don't think that's a reasonable conclusion, given that HN is pretty specific about what title to use. From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: > Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait. Basically, the HN title should be the page title (with a few exceptions noted in the doc above). The whole point is not to use the title to do what you're proposing and apparently, observing. My interest wasn't "How do I get something to rank on HN?", it was "I want to encourage people to submit things that they discover and love, not repeatedly submitting things they're affiliated with." I may be in the minority, though.
