I appreciate original version of HN more. As compared to other content platforms, I come to HN to actually read and just not to scroll. From that pov, I like text better than other elements visible to me. More than that, the current design took too much space, showing 1 post per scroll.
One suggestion for your website is to accommodate heading on left half of the screen (desktop view) coz usually most of the people have a mental model of trying to find heading first and reading from L2R.
- pjc50 6y agoWow, yes - the main thing this design achieves is waste 90% of the space. Sometimes I'd appreciate a larger font on mobile. I don't want larger margins!
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoI tend to agree about the waste of space, but using it on the desktop it's good for discoverability by lazy scrolling, I think. At least I discovered many articles that way, lazily switching categories, which I'd have missed otherwise. There are other HN-frontends which do similar things, but with the exception of [1] https://hckrnews.com/ https://hckrnews.com/ none stuck with me so far. This one I liked, bookmarked, and intend to use more often until further notice. edit: What is missing for me is the ability of simple "click-through" to the original HN for voting/commenting without having to give my user/password to another site. That won't happen!
