It could be parenthesized into the HN title but then stuff like that just gets edited back out :-D

- michaelmior 9y agoWhat I meant is that if you have a major announcement about your project that you can reasonably expect to be shared, it's nice to give some context within the announcement. I think this also applies to people on your mailing list. So often I get announcements sent out to a mailing list I signed up for where I forgot what the project is. Just having a sentence or two with a reminder goes a long way toward keeping me interested.
- petercooper 9y agoI totally agree. But in absence of that, I think tweaking headlines or adding parenthesized descriptions is good form, despite being against current HN policy.
