Dear people who have product blogs like this: Please put a global header on your blog that says "X is a Y that does Z." In this case, "Digit is a service that helps you automatically save money based on your income and spending." That way, we get some much-needed context when we stumble across your blog articles talking about what you've learned by building and selling your product.

Very much this.

For quite some time, the original of this was my top-rated HN comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/27d5xr/please_...

And to add to this, if a product is only available in the U.S it should be marked clearly so. I hate having to look either in the <small> text of your website or the fifth page of your sign up process to find out.

Virtually every HN article would benefit from these descriptors as well.

Especially Show HN. Perhaps I shouldn't be too harsh as I've never personally released a product before, but over half of Show HN's leave me asking the question "what is the actual product" and even more "what is the utility of this product."
