Should probably be switched to the official project page rather than a subpage on an unrelated party website: https://www.nushell.sh/

It’s a lot better at introducing Nushell and feels like a proper landing page.

So HN is not supposed to allow blog posts about projects but must always swap out for the project site itself? As someone who writes blog posts about projects, I hope not! It's not like this blog post is affiliate spam.
If the project site is better written and has the same content, yeah, I would prefer to see it.

But this is not the case here.

Deeply disagree. The linked page barely introduces what the tool is. The part above the fold is an unrelated bio and the what is paragraph actually talks about what it’s not while barely explaining what it does.

The project page is better in any respect. I was going to dismiss it and was writing a comment about how the landing page should be improved before realising it was just a blog page. That’s why I’m linking it.

These are 2 different types of posts.

1. A new product

2. An independent party's pro/con opinions about that product

This thread is about #2. If you feel #1 has value on its own, post that.

Read both your link and the OP's. While the topic is the same, the content is markedly different.

Better not. In this case the blog post provides more complex and interesting examples than the simplistic ones on the official page.
Isn't https://www.nushell.sh/ the official website?
It's a blog post but somehow the styling doesn't make it look like one.
It doesn’t need to be switched, you can submit the project page anytime.
haha, thanks for this. i was looking at the examples on the other page and was like, "jfc, no thanks"
It's someone's personal blog post. No need to be mean. The styles are a little brutalist but also readable to me.
i wasnt talking about the css…

i mistook the blog for the an official introduction and was turned off by the complexity of the examples. which i stand by—that’s a poor introduction to the shell.
