I'm noticing some snarky comments, which seems to be a theme now when people post their creations. I don't think HN is the best place for those. Valid, construc

  Guilty as charged. I apologise to asnyder for my negative tone; to his credit he's done a great job of answering the critics. The marketing of the product touched a nerve seeing as I'm part of a large movement of developers who embrace HTML and client-side development in general as disciplines that are worth investing significant effort in to.

  There is a new breed of user here at HN, and with that, a reaction in the older users. I find this site seems to be more trafficked than it was previously, but the noise to signal ratio has gone through the roof.

    The reddit tone starts to predominate. There has been about 4 threads to address the SEO issues, where a "read existing comments first" then vote-up and "answer in the thread" was the appropriate thing to do. The part of non-technology related stories has increased trendemously, when some people point it as "non-HN", there are answered the Community Card (they forget Community and Common are two very close words). PG is non-existent has a spoken moderator who tells the rules when it's appropriate to do so (his absence is eminently suspect). More importantly, a lot of the old users keep their mouth shut now, some have completly disappeared for obvious reasons. Most of them are prolly still reading HN but the idea of posting a comment has become tiring for them. The battle is already lost, but not for everybody.
