I'm the moderator who changed the title, which is a routine action. That doesn't mean the post itself is inappropriate for HN.
> allowing this kind of posting only works against the HN
HN is for curious conversation between good hackers. We can't and won't ever disallow a post about a software project that someone has built and that others find interesting. That would be way too interventionist and completely against the ethos of HN.
If you have a substantive critique of the project, you're most welcome to share it in the spirit of curious conversation that this site strives to cultivate. Your original comment and your reply to me reek of just the kind of curmudgeonliness and snarkiness we're trying avoid here.
