I'd like to see the headline: "Disqus now on News.YC!"


sort by: page size:

I see. I will attempt more appropriate headlines now onwards. Thank you for sharing. It seems news.yc doesn't allow me to edit the headlines now else would have definitely changed!

It the disqus element up the top alongside the headline.

What's your proposed headline?

Why couldn't the headline be "lifescribe pen" or something like that? Editors?

More descriptive headlines would increase the value of news.yc greatly.


So rather than read the article, you're going to write about what the headline says -- since that is an easier workaround to an otherwise very long task.

What is next? A social media platform where headlines are the only allowable content?



> it’s headline

its headline


What headline would you suggest?

I prefer that the headlines be rewritten. If I want what you're describing, I'd go to reddit.

Well! _That's_ a headline.

Headlines need statements. If you disagree, consider if I'd written: Headlines that assert a statement grab readers, you probably wouldn't care enough to still be reading.

Write the headline just as you think it with all its logic and reason, and then conjugate it into an assertion with a begged question.

Maybe they're going for a more quiet experience than clickbait, but since people read for sensation, and the more people that read something the more they will have in common, I'd say conjugate your headlines.

When the source is leading it makes sense...

This reads much better

Ah, it would be a candidate to replace the "here are the headlines of the day to prove I didn't create this message in the past"

Should use the article’s headline.

Headline: s/It's/Its/

Now there's a headline idea!

What should the headline be?

What? You mean make news headlines useful?

* rapturous applause * if this works.
