It seems that the HN community has a soft spot for submissions with the word "trove" in the title. This is the third or fourth one on the front page this week..

  Thank you, I was starting to wonder if there was a secret game going on, or if I was supposed to screenshot them all and post for a hat-trick or whatever. So strange. Not sure if I was being hit by Extra Strong(tm) confirmation bias [1], so at least very nice to see I was not alone in reacting.

    IIRC the HN algorithm checks for patterns in titles of articles people are interested in in.

  See also, high correlation between having trove in the title and actually containing a trove of something.
