This is bad idea from YC point of view. It's OK to invest to startup that most likely fails but in case of success pays out other failures. Redesign doesn't have such upside. Why pay someone 20K for redesign if you can pay much less on 99designs and have a lot of propositions? IMHO HN has good design and usability for(at least in general better then redesigns appearing from time to time). It's not so convenient to use HN from mobile phone. I believe that this issue is better to fix with releasing good official API and we get good client very quickly.
