Not really sure if any of these are better. Different maybe, but not better. hckrnews.com, which the article bills as "a minimalist Hacker News alternative" is IMO more cluttered than the original homepage. HN is already plenty minimal anyway - why would you want to get into a minimalism pissing match?

The point with http://hckrnews.com http://hckrnews.com wasn't to get into a "minimalism pissing match", but to read the frontpage items sorted by time (and archived). However, I did strive for minimalism and readability as a goal. I'm not sure why you think it is more cluttered than the original, since every item has less -- one line vs two, repeated words and the submitted user's name omitted.

  I like the look of it. I may have to try it and the extension out.

  I've been using that for while as my primary HN frontpage. Can't live without it or the extension highlighting unread comments.
