When submitting to HN, "like jq, but for X" is short and conveys what it is to most the people that would care, I think. jq has been submitted and talked about here many times with lively discussion over the years.[1] At this point I think most those that are interested in what that is and what this is will understand fairly quickly from the title. Those that don't might be missed, or they might look it up like you, or they might see it through some other submission some other time with a different title which isn't based on a chain of references. 1: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=jq%20&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
