HN guidelines dictate that a post take its title from the linked article. And given that the linked article in this case was a blog post on the website for the app in question, it does make a little sense, doesn't it?


In this case, the title from HN is merely a symptom of the underlying issue with the blog title, etc.

I'm sure you're referring to this guideline: "Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait."

I think that if the title is so minimal as it begs you to click to have a clue what it might be, that could be construed as linkbait.


I think maybe he was referring to the company/app name - not the title of the blog post or this submission to HN.
