I totally agree. Many folks overlook the UX decisions they make when sharing a project. That's why (in the spirit of HN) I began with a compliment and provided information as to why I made the choice.
While I can cop to the fact that some may interpret my comment as "Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting." it seems there is an equal and opposite lack of consideration around "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. "
