I think everyone knows that the UX is bad. The work just has to be done, and it's not particularly critical. If I know anything about software, it's been in HN's issue tracker for years.

Considering how awful the unilateral design changes to Facebook and Reddit have been, I for one sincerely hope that Hacker News never changes. Its UX is perfect.

This UX may be bad, but the current hackish solution of a parent comment being posted with link to the other pages is the worst.

  Dang, is there a GitHub repo where we can contribute, file a pull request, and see what happens? I only see the API available, not any of the front-end: https://github.com/HackerNews https://github.com/HackerNews

    It is a black box. An enigma, wrapped in mystery and covered in secret sauce.
