The tagline has nothing to do with Hacker News, the fact that you would even say that is amusing.

- sathyabhat 15y agoIt's got nothing to do with HN, true, but "X blog engine for Hackers!!!11" grabs more eyeballs than "x blog engine"
- chriseppstein 15y agoThose damn marketers. Going after that HUGE hacker market again!!!
- pestaa 15y agoFunny and deserved an upvote, but in reality I bet hackers are more willing to invest in tools they find good. Still, it wouldn't describe the market size of course, but the worthiness of pursuing it.
- officemonkey 15y ago"A blogging framework for hackers" If it said "a blogging framework for writers" do you think it would even get mentioned at hackernews? It seems like YABF, with the possible exception of pretty good support for code display. Other threads here say it's basically Jekyll. I did some searches. It's not Jekyll. Jekyll has zero branding, it's just a github project. Good taglines define a brand. This one's a good tagline. Good enough to get the front page here.
