Interesting to see how stable the design of Hacker News has been. Here’s the earliest I c Ould find in the Wayback Machine – from 21st February, 2007: https://web.archive.org/web/20070221033032/http://news.ycombinator.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20070221033032/http://news.ycomb...
Some changes – most notably the name – but you could easily mistake it for the current design at a glance.
- k__ 6y agoWhich is interesting, considering it's so bad on mobile.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI really do think the mobile site is fine. Voting buttons are a tad small.
- k__ 6y agoall buttons and links are very small.
- prepend 6y agoI use it 95% on mobile and rarely curse the UI. I like that it renders quickly, shows lots of articles, and shows lots of comments. It takes concentration to vote and hide links, but I think it’s optimized for reading and commenting. Better than any other forum, I think.
- k__ 6y agoThe performance is awesome, but the UX is rather bad. Everything is tiny.
- infogulch 6y agoEverything is tiny, but it doesn't pointlessly restrict pinch to zoom. Thus interacting is more of a 2-finger process, but so what? It's refreshing for a site to optimize for reading instead of chasing maximum engagement.
