I must agree with the points on the UI/UX. I just opened the app and 95% of what I see on the screen I do not care about. The fact that only 1 list item is immediately available to me as a user is just bizzare.

There's just so much noise in this new UI. All I want to see is the title, the source, the subreddit the post belongs to, how many comments it has, and MAYBE the upvote count. Put all the navigation stuff in a hidden drawer - it doesn't need to be on the screen all the time and let me switch off these silly awards (or at least tone them down). The rest of the screen is taken up by elements that simply don't need to be on the screen all the time. The search bar can be put in a menu to free up space for more posts. The thumbnails don't need to be there all the time. I don't need an immediately available button to buy Reddit coins / awards. The new awards system (while lucrative) is a complete eyesore and often takes up as much space (if not more) than the title of the post itself.
I cannot express how grateful I am that HN as opted to remain with this simple UI. It's all we need.
- wombat-man 6y agothe old reddit UI is a lot better and you can still use it. The new reddit UI has been around for a while now, and I think it's actually getting slower. I really tried to like it, but I opted out a month or two ago.
