I know what I’d add: a link to the project from the article. :)

View on HN

Huh, but the very first word (Kakoune) in the article is hyper-linked to https://kakoune.org/

Do you mean something else?

Doesn’t appear to be clickable on mobile (or at least not iOS, just tried)

Works for me on iPhone

Weird, must be me. I, once again, stand corrected. :)

May be you're looking at a wrong place? It's just a simple <a> tag, it should work. I can see link at first word in the sentence "Kakoune is a (fairly) young modal code editor that has matured for as long and as well as a good red wine."

Probably not what's happening here. But even "simple a tags" regularly break on iOS, because Safari has heuristics to see if the hover effect is to show something (like a menu), so then the first click triggers the hover, and the next click the actual click. Really frustrating as the heuristic is often way off.

IMHO we are trained to look for a home link in the header.

I'd say that, even though the author put a link in the article, it's easy to miss it if you read the whole article first, then try to find more informations about Kakoune :/
