I love HN but the frequency of 'mystery links' is too high. I assume it's either because the poster is so familiar with the relevant domain they forget others aren't or, more annoying, they know many will be puzzled but assume "it's SO great, everyone will be instantly captivated and spend several minutes on a magical journey until they work it out." Unfortunately, sometimes I'm kind of busy and just bookmarking interesting stuff to come back to. Other times, it might have been something I'd be interested in, but I don't find the first minute quite as magical as the poster and bounce before ever knowing what the hell it is.

Something about it reminds me of force directed graphs, where you only care about the nodes and edges (the rooms and connections).
