Hacker News is pretty minimal in terms of UI. I like it for that.

  It is, but unfortunately the HTML structure is quite horrible. It is built less like a web page and more like an Excel spreadsheet. Makes it terribly hard to parse automatically.

    Use the API. There is HTML in it's fields but the mess is contained

    If anyone else suffers from Table-Layout PTSD like me, I encourage you not to open your developer tools like I just did. Kidding aside, I love you HN. Don't ever change.

  The UI could be improved on mobile. The links are quite close one to each other and I regularly tap the wrong one, especially when I want to hide a tree of comments or a topic on the main page.

    Also, for some reason code blocks are not full-width. Infuriating.

    That's true, it's crap on mobile.
