Hacker News Title Edit Tracker

It looks like the mods are sticklers for capitalization. I’m looking forward to seeing this post’s title edited.

This is probably just evidence that I care about something unimportant, but sharing this after noticing a diminishing change today:<p>In first, US surgeons transplant pig heart into human patient<p>↓<p>U.S. surgeons transplant pig heart into human patient<p>in reference to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=29882912" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=29882912</a>

Anyone have a browser extension or alternate UI that integrates this into the main page? I hate seeing an interesting-sounding new story that turns out to just be the one I read this morning with a different title.

Curious how something such as this is actually implemented. Is there a feed that you are subscribing to? Are you consistently polling posts looking for changes? Or is it some third option?

Why doesn&#x27;t HN have an auto-title suggester that si ply pulls in the title of the target URL? Would save a lot of heartache.

A filter at the top for common changes would be nice to have. Maybe one for case changes, and year additions.

Note that not all title changes are mod edits. They could be from the original submitter.

When can we expect a browser extension that restores the original titles? :)

Brilliant.
