One simple idea to improve HN story quality
Get more eyes and therefore more quality votes on new submissions. How often do you look at the new page? I don't. It's too hard.
This idea is stupidly simple. Just make a two column layout. Might work, might not. Try it for a couple days and see what happens!

- noodle 16y agoi prefer a combination of other suggestions in the giant thread: 1) hide points 2) on the front page, randomly pepper in new submissions. like, perhaps the top 5 will always be the true top 5, but the rest of the front page will have 5 random "new" items inserted in random positions.

- messel 16y agoWas thinking two iframes when I read the ask. Always helpful to see it live and consider it's utility in practice.
