It sounded like an interesting story
As we leave our scrappiness behind soon, I thought some hackers would like to hear our (scrappy) story
- dang 5y agoWe can restore the post but I'm not sure what an accurate title would be. What are some options for an accurate title? (Edit: I've pinched tyingq's from upthread for now.) "I sell onions on the internet" is a fine HN title; it's unusual and intriguing without being overly sensational. "How I made $XXX per year" is not a good HN title; it's extremely common and $sensational $dollars are $sensational. But don't worry—it's far more important that the article itself be good!
- chdaniel 5y agoThen it's my mistake — probably I spent too much time in the 'build in public' bubble which is all about the numbers, and I forgot to get myself out of that bubble I'd change the title to "I authenticate items for strangers for a living" — but if that doesn't fit either, the current title is ok Thanks Dan!
