A title should read like a conclusion. Labels slow readers and weaken Ask the Brain. A sharp title makes a short note land. Makes links work better because the title itself is a handle.

“The Commune box” is stronger than “Self-hosting.” “Ledger replaces feeds” is stronger than “Changelog.” Writing the claim in the title forces clarity in the body. If I cannot name the claim, I split the note or I need to think more.
