Sorry for the asside, perhaps we could add a rule that single name tools need a short description in the thread title. The top two threads are titled "Clock" and "Astral" and you don't know what they are going to be until I click out to the external site or try to guess from comments.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

It is a fun experience. You go in there with no instructions and no idea what is going on. You quickly figure out how you can interact with it and what is going on within that little world and try and make sense of it. Then you notice the title and try and piece that in with that model you've just created. And then you get to wonder if you are reading too much into it and it is just a fun little toy someone built or if there is some artistic story.

The Astral thing is different: it's about announcing a commercial company, and not having spent time on crafting a good description that would appear in link aggregators like HN is their loss of opportunity and outreach. Good thing that posting and discussing it here uncovered the issue.
Wow. That makes me anxious. It really makes me feel like the seconds come and go.
This is probably over-analysis, but it's interesting that so many people have the same reaction to this page.
They could make it more stressful by adding names of those who are dying as we speak.

This one is difficult because the page has no text and the mods usually don't want to make a title from thin air. "3D animated clock" may be good, but it may be hard to convince the mods to change it.
The guidelines ask to use the original title. The tag line or the subtitle is many times a good alternative. If the title is too bad, sometimes a representative sentence is OK, but not cherry picking too much.
