I think it's the layout of your site plus the brevity of the post that confused everyone (including me). I couldn't distinguish what I was supposed to look at, what was image and what was post text, etc.

It's cool to celebrate "small" contributions to OS projects, because it will encourage more to do the same. But, I'd write up a bit more explaining that, especially for HN.

Great feedback. I've edited the post "Even small and silly as this one, open-source contributions are very valuable. I know how excited Sebastian was that his first open-source project had a pull request. I know how users will love to see a cool icon in their favorites when they use Heroku-Bartender. It’s an open-source win. Go contribute something small to any open-source project – even if it’s a favicon!"
