what would you recommend to "tune for HN-interestingness"?

Yes, I read that:

> Include text giving the backstory of how you came to work on this, and explaining what's different about it.

that's why I wrote the blurb that way.

This is a better blurb https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44498576, your new one is a set of instructions. I think it just needs to be a little clearer, you're on the right track with the second post to focus on something more concrete but it's better to show your whole thing instead of some subthing of the thing.
