Perhaps provide some interesting piece of code to look at?

#42Who thought "It's Playtime" was a better title for this than "Light Table Playground released"? Why does this keep happening to Light Table posts? Edit: Now "It's playtime - Light Table Playground released", after ibdknox altered the blog title. So... success? I still think it's ridiculous, though.
I clicked on this when it was still Light Table Playground and that was interesting to me, but "It's Playtime"? What the hell is that? It doesn't tell me anything at all about the article and I only figured it out by clicking on the comments.
I don't see anything wrong with having a title that is different than the source's title if it gives CONTEXT, which it did in this case.

The original title ("Light Table Playground released") was significantly more informative.

What is a two stage downloader? Serious question :)

The script that you download and execute goes back out to the internet to download the real executable, so it makes it (somewhat) difficult to review beforehand or to make sure you're running the official version

#46I used it and it's not bad at all for a "playtime".
But since I've no idea how to write code in Closure, it's not useful for me.
What I want is a Python version. A Python enabled Light Table would definitely replace Python's REPL for me.

To reply to the post you deleted about downvotes...
I didn't downvote you, because I appreciate you bringing up a relevant technical concern.
But sometimes people bring food over to my house and I just eat it. At the alpha stage of development, I think it's reasonable that your option is to not download.

If it was intended to prefer the author's title, even "It's playtime - Light Table Playground released" is far better.

To be fair, I added that after it got changed with the hope it might end up reverted :)

This has got to stop. I don't know if the rewriting is getting especially bad lately, or if it's just happening more to the articles I'm reading.
He's already altered the page title to "It's playtime - Light Table Playground released"...can we at least get someone to include the subtitle on HN?
