I find it bit of a peculiarity of HN that GH links, no matter how non-descriptive, are so often preferred over projects main home pages.

In this particular case, the github link makes a bit more sense, as the main topic of discussion was the fact that it's now open source.

I agree with you in general though.

Most probably because the GitHub content will outlive the project homepage, especially when you consider that 4coder is no longer maintained, and thus the source is being made available. Seems logical to me.

with smaller projects it's pretty common that HN hugs the site to death
