Title should contain the name of the thing.

People presenting their own work get a lot of leeway and there's nothing in this that approaches clickbait. Having to click on a thing to learn more about what it is is not in itself clickbait.




The name is the single more important fact about a thing. Omitting that is not acceptable in my opinion.


Sure but HN titles and especially HN titles of self-posts and Show HNs don't have that as a requirement for pretty straightforward reasons.
