The one and I think only time I hit the front page (after a couple years of submissions) was a title that was extremely dry -- just the name of my project, without trying to say what it was (other than what is conveyed by the name). And had a 10 second elevator pitch as the intro paragraph on the page. My conclusion is that if you can think of a click bait title, think of the complete polar opposite of click bait, and that is more likely to be looked at.
