> Shamelessly resubmitting my own.. If everyone shamelessly resubmitted their own stuff.....a.k.a "please don't delete and repost" See also the "don't linkbait; don't editorialize" rule in relation to titles. ;-)

Yeah, actually this submission does seem to go against https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html - > Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.

  If it's a problem then I'll just edit the original article. The current title (on HN) is objective and accurate, and I received feedback that the original title buries the lede(s)

    Even if it’s not an issue, the title you chose now is simply more information dense as well. It’s all around better. Thanks for the read :)

    Given the situation, I'd recommend updating the article title, as it's definitely more interesting to someone who hasn't heard of RabbitOS!

      I updated the article title in the end, but ironically the HN mods appear to have put it back to closer to the original (minus parenthetical).

    That seems sensible. Ignoring for a moment the HN guidelines, I agree that the new title is just a better description (I read it... either previously here or from lobsters, but yeah the actual content was good).

Rules aside I can see why title iteration can be good, i saw the original and didnt click it, but im glad i did this time

  there's also https://news.ycombinator.com/pool https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, though I'm not sure what the difference edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 explains it

The rules are "don't delete and repost", not "don't repost" (and this isn't just me rules-lawyering, I believe it's the intended interpretation)

HN explicitly allows reposts: >Are reposts ok? >If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok. Otherwise we bury reposts as duplicates. >Please don't delete and repost the same story. Deletion is for things that shouldn't have been submitted in the first place. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html
