Hacker News Reader

Off topic but what is the name supposed to reference with Rider? I get that it’s a play on “writer” but what does riding have to do with anything?

I suppose it's word play, as usual in JetBrains product names. *(See) Sharp rider", that is, an expert rider (of a horse, or a bike).
