- jacquesm 10y agoHN could be done without anything other than what the OP suggested. It would work a little bit different (there would be a few more refreshes, for instance, on voting) but for the most part you would hardly know the difference.
- matthewmacleod 10y agoYeah, I mean it could be but wasn't.
- jacquesm 10y agoIt actually was. The current version no longer does this but the first one did. Which is kind of neat: under the hood HN has been almost completely revamped but it still looks almost to the pixel the same as the first version.
