I for one value the HN limited aesthetic. From a ui perspective its not ideal, but keeping the site extremely simple and a little coarse surely disincentivizes mass and mob adoption.
- nkrisc 5y agoYou can retain the aesthetic while also making it less frustrating to use.
- Cthulhu_ 5y agoThat's cool, but I hope you can also see that the user experience on mobile is pretty bad due to small icons and links.
- kataklasm 5y agoI suggest Harmonic for Android, an app front-end to HN with a similarly minimal aesthetic but a pleasure to use on mobile.
- Riseed 5y agoPersonally, I find the user experience on mobile is fantastic. The small icons and links mean that more content can fit on my tiny screen. This is without a doubt one of the main reasons HN is the most visited site on my phone. (Not trying to start a debate. Just pointing out that user experience on mobile is subjective, rather than objectively "pretty bad".)
