This would be a good time for the HN editors to change the story to link directly to the webplatform.org site.

I'm truly asking, why is that? If the OP found it through TNW (or any other!), I see no reason why not to give credit and traffic to the news provider?

You're just a click away, the link is at the beginning of the article and it is not an add covered site or link bait.

For one thing that's what I'd expect based on the title (since the site already launched). If the site hadn't launched, then a link to a relatively contentless news story would be fine.

Maybe I want to read the news article describing it first, and then decide if I want to visit webplatform.org or not.
