I often wish that "Show HN" posts followed the same format as "Launch HN". I think it would be more beneficial for both the community seeing the product as well as the showcasing party.

Posts where there is detailed information about the project, who is behind it, how it started, etc., and maybe some contact info. Even the tiniest percentage of this information would be more helpful.

This is the second time in as many days I clicked a Show HN link and had no idea what I was looking at. The first was the nearest volcano site from yesterday; the page did nothing without location access.
