There are incremental improvements they could make (user @latchkey enumerates quite a few in his linked repo), but it's basically fine.
It would be a mistake to do what most link aggregators have done in the past, and burn the whole thing down to do a complete redesign from scratch (cf. Reddit, Digg).
If the tendency is to do the latter, I'd prefer HN did nothing instead.
- ryandrake 4y agoI have a feeling we have not gotten the hostile "You'll get over it"[1] redesign from scratch because 1. HN doesn't have a team of UX experts desperately pleading to try out all their design experiments, 2. HN doesn't have a team of webdevs who want to re-factor everything into using the next framework-of-the-month, and 3. HN doesn't chase all these vanity metrics like engagement and time-on-site because it's a side-project of Ycombinator not their main business. 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnVeysllPDI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnVeysllPDI
