We've changed the title from "Show HN: WinBox – just like Windows, but for the web". The "just like Windows" thing was baity and provoked complaints.

Also, "Show HN" implies that the project is your own personal work. If that's the case, let us know and we'll put it back. But if it's not the case, please read https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html and only put "Show HN" on your own projects.

[Edit:] I'd try to make sure that, in the title, it's clear this is an in-browser library.

I honestly thought this was a window manager, you know, the piece of software on a desktop OS that draws the windows. IE, I thought it was a window manager that made it easier to use web applications on a desktop computer.

It took me awhile to realize that this allows desktop-style windows inside of a web browser. Not really a "window manager."

Ok, I've changed it from "WinBox: Modern window manager for the web" to make that clearer. We usually take the word "modern" out of titles so I've done that too.
