I like what you did, congrats on the productive weekend.
The only issue I might have with it (depending on how it functions or updates), is due to the lack of a linear flow, it might be difficult to quickly find a story / link again without scanning every box.
I often come back to HN and read a link later, or check the comments later and so on. With a line by line link flow, I can quickly scan for anything I've clicked on or wanted to check out.
I'd suggest having the link colors change upon click through (right now they appear to just stay black). That would add a helpful visual cue.
Or even let me click and tag an icon on the story box, for future reference (equivalent to an "important" tag). Then I can scan the boxes faster.

If a story doesn't seem interesting at first on HN, but the comment count is high'ish, it might change my mind about reading it and diving into the conversation. Or if the comment count is just plain high regardless, I'll often scan the discussion to see what has the HN community so fired up.
- davj 15y agojust added comment count and linking to hn. for now it's just the front page of hn, which hopefully is the most interesting content of the moment.
- davj 15y agoThanks man, it's a really fun project. I was curious about what makes Pinterest so compelling - and my hypothesis is the flow and visuals. You bring up some great points. I will be adding/changing some things so expect some of your feedback go live :)
