Hacker News Reader

None, AFAIK. And I don't see a desperate need for any, either. The submission will get voted up on its merits regardless of who submitted it.

that might make for a long title. i would be happy to add that to the description, but i'm just submitting it as a news item, not providing opinion.

no need to provide any extra information, it really doesn't matter who submits something, but any reason you wouldn't mention github in your profile? sometimes i like checking out profiles to see what people are working on.

I have a profile?

wow! There exist rules for not posting something that is already public? Or rules for filling out a more complete profile? I would guess if someone wanted to keep something a secret then making it so every search engine in the world wouldn't crawl it would be job 1.

I don't recall being asked to read such rules when I signed up for HN. But I'm happy to learn them if they exist.
