I disagree too.
HN's layout is plain and simple and effective. It loads fast and unlike the vast majority of websites these days, it actually loads all its content from the same domain. I'm so sick of popping open uBlock Origin's inspector panel to block junk on so many websites these days and finding that the site domain is little more than a blank frame which loads in all its content from dozens of external domains.
Whatever happened to creating and hosting your own 'stuff'?
- krapp 5y ago>Whatever happened to creating and hosting your own 'stuff'? The same thing that happened to scrivenery, where the printing press was invented, then industrial printing, then electronic publishing, and eventually if you wanted to write a book you no longer needed to make the paper and ink and manually inscribe the text in painstaking detail, then bind every copy individually. People want to host their content on the web, they don't want or need to have to build all of the infrastructure by hand first. Only programmers care about the plumbing.
