Hey OP (or a mod?), can we consider editing the title to say "Astronomy App" instead of "Astro App?" I accidentally skipped this at first because I thought it

Hey OP (or a mod?), can we consider editing the title to say "Astronomy App" instead of "Astro App?" I accidentally skipped this at first because I thought it was just somebody's personal page built in the Astro JS framework: https://astro.build/ https://astro.build/

Am I able to change the name? Thought that was mod only

  Pretty sure OP can change the name for a limited time. That's probably expired by now unfortunately

But the app is literally called “Astro App”

This. At first glance from title of this submission I thought it's an astrology app.

HN titles don't need to be completely unambiguous or self-explanatory, it's ok to have to click on a thing to figure out what it is. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=by%3Adang%20%22work%20a%20little%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

  It's not a matter of blindly following the rules, just that a homebrewed astronomy app is a lot more interesting than yet another implementation of yet another JS framework. The ambiguity is doing a disservice to the cool thing the OP actually built, and I think this thread deserves more attention.

    The point of these mod comments is not that they are 'rules', it's that a bit of ambiguity is good for curiosity. The thread itself has about as much attention as HN can give a post: https://hnrankings.info/39591529/ https://hnrankings.info/39591529/

      It's an interesting point... that ambiguous titles can help spark curiosity and lure people in. I wonder, has that ever been tested/looked at somewhat scientifically?

        No idea (it's hard for me to imagine how to even design such an experiment but I'm no curiosity scientist) although HN's weird title rules are probably the thing (out of the various weird rules) that the HN hive mind has expended the most thinker bees on. So if nothing else, they're HN-tested!
