I'm not conflating anything, and never mentioned a summary. I don't know if you're using a specialized application to view this site or something, but in a regular browser there's no summary. There's only the title, and this one neglects to say what the thing is.



My point was that you’re misunderstanding what a title is. If you want to understand more about something then you should click the link. Not complain that all the detail isn’t in the title.

It’s also worth noting that even their abridged description would be too long to use as the title string in HN. So what you’re asking for isn’t even possible on this forum.


I'm not misunderstanding anything. It's easy to put a short description in the title. To deny this is to promote making HN useless, since scanning its pages will tell you nothing and you would have no way to skip things you're not interested in.

Your assertion about the title is not correct, either. Try it. These titles fit into the limit:

"Bun v0.7.0: a fast JavaScript runtime, bundler, transpiler, package manager"

"Bun: an incredibly fast JavaScript runtime, bundler, transpiler, package manager"

It's time to stop silently putting up with useless titles, and WAY past time to stop attacking those of us who don't.
