Just realized that the post author submitted[0] it hours before I did, but it didn't come up in search because it was dead at the time.

This is sad because Will writes great posts[1] and great software[2], but somehow his submissions mentioning Rich tend to end up dead. Would it be a case of bad project name for HN titles?

It’s cool. Occasionally my posts do blow up!

That's Rich, coming from you.

@dang perhaps worth merging into the original author's post to give them credit?

And if a mod does see this, maybe they'll consider also Dispensing With The Title Case - since it reduces the information in the original article title ('Building Rich terminal dashboards') by obscuring that Rich is the name of the Python package behind it, and it doesn't (just) mean adjectivally rich (other than I'm sure that's the reason for the framework's name).

(Bit of a bee in my bonnet because I never like Title Case In Submissions Even If The Article Itself Uses It anyway, but it's especially unfortunate here.)

I think it was changed to title case by a mod. It might have been automatically changed on submission without me noticing. But I'm sure it was submitted with the proper capitalization you suggest.

HN does it automatically on submission, but you can edit it and it leaves it alone then.
